 Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of infor-
mation for maintaining separation from terrain and obstacles. Garmin obtains
terrain and obstacle data from third party sources and cannot independently
verify the accuracy of the information.

WARNING: Always refer to current aeronautical charts and NOTAMs for

verification of displayed aeronautical information. Displayed aeronautical
data may not incorporate the latest NOTAM information.

WARNING: Do not use geometric altitude for compliance with air traffic
control altitude requirements. The primary barometric altimeter must be used
for compliance with all air traffic control altitude regulations, requirements,
instructions, and clearances.

WARNING: Do not use basemap information (land and water data) as the
sole means of navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other
approved navigation data sources and should be considered only an aid to
enhance situational awareness.

WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to

accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack
of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from
aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on
the display.

WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in,
near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within
data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather condi-
tions.

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to deter-
mine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather
product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather
data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data
link weather product may be older than the indicated weather product age.

190-01896-01 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Diamond DA62
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) are only advisory
in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and
terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for
appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.

WARNING: Always obtain qualified instruction prior to operational use of

this equipment.

WARNING: Do not use a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System
functions will not operate properly with a QFE altimeter setting. Use only
a QNH altimeter setting for height above mean sea level, or the standard
pressure setting, as applicable.

WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as

a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints
are derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible
with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be
positioned in error as displayed.

WARNING: Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, do not rely

on the accuracy of attitude and heading indications (GRS 77 installations
only) in the following geographic areas: North of 72° North latitude at all
longitudes; South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes; North of 65° North
latitude between longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada); North of
70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada);
North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern
Russia); South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E.
(Region south of Australia and New Zealand).

WARNING: When using the autopilot to fly an approach with vertical guid-
ance, the autopilot will not level the aircraft at the MDA/DH even if the MDA/
DH is set in the altitude preselect.

 Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for col-
lision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision
avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or
conditions relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.

WARNING: Do not rely on information from a lightning detection system

display as the sole basis for hazardous weather avoidance. Range limitations
and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate or incomplete
information. Refer to documentation from the lightning detection system
manufacturer for detailed information about the system.

WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain,
obstacle, and traffic avoidance. Garmin SVT is intended as an aid to situ-
ational awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability
upon which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain,
obstacles, or traffic.

WARNING: Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft. AGL may not appear on the
Garmin SVT display or may appear as a partial symbol.

WARNING: Do not use the Garmin SVT runway depiction as the sole means
for determining the proximity of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining
the proper approach path angle during landing.

WARNING: Do not operate the weather radar in a transmitting mode when

personnel or objects are within the MPEL boundary.

WARNING: Always position the weather radar gain setting to Calibrated for
viewing the actual intensity of precipitation. Changing the gain in weather
mode causes precipitation intensity to be displayed as a color not representa-
tive of the true intensity.

CAUTION: Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners

containing ammonia. They will harm the anti-reflective coating.

190-01896-01 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Diamond DA62
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

CAUTION: Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service

center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty
and affect the airworthiness of the aircraft.

NOTE: Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury (HG) and must be recycled
or disposed of according to local, state, or federal laws. For more information,
refer to our website at www.garmin.com/aboutGarmin/environment/disposal.

NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight
Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirm TFR information through official
sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen
images of the system panel and displays, are subject to change and may not
reflect the most current system and aviation databases. Depictions of equip-
ment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

NOTE: The United States government operates the Global Positioning System
and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system
is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all
GPS equipment. Portions of the system utilize GPS as a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information
presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,
become unsafe.

NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can
cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the aircraft
is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 yards away from the
source of the interference should alleviate the condition.

 Warnings, Cautions & Notes

NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the flight displays to appear dim
or blank.

NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive
harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition
65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please
refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.

NOTE: Operating the system in the vicinity of metal buildings, metal struc-
tures, or electromagnetic fields can cause sensor differences that may result
in nuisance miscompare annunciations during start up, shut down, or while
taxiing. If one or more of the sensed values are unavailable, the annunciation
indicates no comparison is possible.

NOTE: The system responds to a terminal procedure based on data coded

within that procedure in the Navigation Database. Differences in system
operation may be observed among similar types of procedures due to differ-
ences in the Navigation Database coding specific to each procedure.

NOTE: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin database-
dependent avionics of the following:
• It is the pilot’s responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory and advisory
guidance and information related to the use of databases in the National Airspace
System.
• Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are obtained from
Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen are assured
compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs) by virtue of a Type 2 Letter
of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA. A copy of the Type 2 LOA is available for
each database and can be viewed at http://fly.garmin.com by selecting ‘Type 2 LOA
Status.’
• Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment is required
for compliance with established FAA regulatory guidance, but does not constitute
authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures that may be presented by the
system. It is the pilot’s responsibility to operate in accordance with established
AFM(S) and regulatory guidance or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft,
and installed equipment.
190-01896-01 Rev. A Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Diamond DA62
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

NOTE: The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin’s database
exclusion list as discussed in SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be
incomplete. The database exclusion list can be viewed at www.flygarmin.
com by selecting ‘Database Exclusions List.’

NOTE: The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen data-
base alerts and consider their impact on the intended aircraft operation. The
database alerts can be viewed at www.flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation
Database Alerts.’

NOTE: If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact

Garmin Product Support.

NOTE: Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies
related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form
of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or
any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or
on the ground. Go to FlyGarmin.com and select ‘Aviation Data Error Report’.

NOTE: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena in

addition to nearby thunderstorms that can cause isolated discharge points in
the strike display mode. However, clusters of two or more discharge points
in the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points
reappear after the screen has been cleared.

NOTE: The system supports approval of AC 120-76C Hardware Class 3,

Software Type B Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) electronic aeronautical chart
applications. Possible additional requirements may make a secondary source
(traditional paper or additional electronic display) necessary onboard the
aircraft. If the secondary source is a Portable Electronic Device (PED), its use
must be consistent with guidance in AC 120-76C.

NOTE: Operate G1000 system power through at least one cycle in a period
of four days of continuous operation to avoid an autonomous system reboot.

Radar images may have certain limitations:

• Radar base reflectivity does not provide sufficient information to determine cloud
layers or precipitation characteristics (wet hail vs. rain). For example, it is not

While in Enroute or Oceanic phase of flight, if the G1000 detects an invalid GPS
solution or is unable to calculate a GPS position, the system automatically reverts to

Dead Reckoning (DR) Mode. In DR Mode, the G1000 uses its last-known position
combined with continuously updated airspeed and heading data (when available) to
calculate and display the aircraft’s current estimated position.

(OCN) phase of flight. In all other phases, an invalid GPS solution produces
a “NO GPS POSITION” annunciation on the map and the G1000 stops
navigating in GPS Mode.

It is important to note that estimated navigation data supplied by the G1000 in
DR Mode may become increasingly unreliable and must not be used as a sole means

of navigation. If, while in DR Mode, airspeed and/or heading data is also lost or
not available, the DR function may not be capable of estimating your position and,

Procedures
consequently, the system may display a path that is different than the actual movement
of the aircraft. Estimated position information displayed by the G1000 through
DR while there is no heading and/or airspeed data available should not be used for

navigation.

Hazard
DR Mode is inherently less accurate than the standard GPS Mode due to the lack of
satellite measurements needed to determine a position. Changes in wind speed and/
