 Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Do not operate this equipment without first obtaining qualified instruc-
tion.

WARNING: Always refer to current aeronautical charts and NOTAMs for verifica-
tion 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 clear-
ances.

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 conditions.

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine 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.

190-02340-01 Rev. A Garmin G1000H NXi Cockpit Reference Guide for the Bell 407GXi
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of information
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: Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as the
sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current
aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.

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: Do not rely on the accuracy of attitude and heading indications in the
following geographic areas (due to variations in the earth’s magnetic field): 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: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain, obstacle,
and traffic avoidance. Garmin SVT is intended as an aid to situational 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: 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.

Garmin G1000H NXi Cockpit Reference Guide for the Bell 407GXi 190-02340-01 Rev. A
 Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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

as the sole basis for hazardous weather avoidance. Range limitations and interfer-
ence 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: Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle avoidance.
TAWS is intended only to enhance situational awareness.

WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision
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 use a QFE altimeter setting with this system. System functions
will not operate properly with a QFE altimeter setting. Use only a QNH altimeter set-
ting for height above mean sea level, or the standard pressure setting, as applicable.

CAUTION: Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners containing
ammonia. They will harm the anti-reflective coating.

CAUTION: Do not allow repairs to be made by anyone other than an authorized

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

CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database. Power
interruption during the database loading process could result in maintenance being
required to reboot the system.

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 equipment may differ slightly
from the actual equipment.

190-02340-01 Rev. A Garmin G1000H NXi Cockpit Reference Guide for the Bell 407GXi
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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

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 harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

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 structures, or
electromagnetic fields can cause sensor differences that may result in nuisance mis-
compare 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 differences in the Navigation
Database coding specific to each procedure.

Garmin G1000H NXi Cockpit Reference Guide for the Bell 407GXi 190-02340-01 Rev. A
 Warnings, Cautions & Notes

NOTE: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin database-de-
pendent 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 that
have a Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA are assured compli-
ance with all data quality requirements (DQRs). A copy of the Type 2 LOA is
available for each applicable database and can be viewed at flygarmin.com
by selecting ‘Aviation Database Declarations.’
• 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 accor-
dance with established pertinent aircraft documents and regulatory guidance
or limitations as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment.

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

NOTE: The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen database alerts
and consider their impact on the intended aircraft operation. The database alerts can
be viewed at 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’.

190-02340-01 Rev. A Garmin G1000H NXi Cockpit Reference Guide for the Bell 407GXi
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

NOTE: Electronic aeronautical charts displayed on this system have been shown
to meet the guidance in AC 120-76D as a Type B Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) for
FliteCharts and ChartView. The accuracy of the charts is subject to the chart data
provider. Own-ship position on airport surface charts cannot be guaranteed to meet
the accuracy specified in AC 120-76D. Possible additional requirements may make
a secondary source of aeronautical charts, such as traditional paper charts or an
additional electronic display, necessary on the aircraft and available to the pilot. If
the secondary source of aeronautical charts is a Portable Electronic Device (PED), its
use must be consistent with the guidance in AC 120-76D.

NOTE: The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain Special
Procedures. Prior to flying these procedures, pilots must have specific FAA authoriza-
tion, training, and possession of the corresponding current, and legitimately-sourced
chart (approach plate, etc.). Inclusion of the Special Procedure in the navigation
database DOES NOT imply specific FAA authorization to fly the procedure.

NOTE: Terrain and obstacle alerting is not available north of 89º North latitude
and south of 89º South latitude. This is due to limitations present within the Terrain
database and the system’s ability to process the data representing the affected areas.

NOTE: The nose of the ‘own ship’ symbol represents the location of the aircraft. The
center of any traffic symbol represents the location of that traffic. The traffic and own
ship symbols are an abstract representation and do not reflect the physical extent of
the aircraft/traffic, and should not replace other methods for identifying traffic.

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

Garmin G1000H NXi Cockpit Reference Guide for the Bell 407GXi 190-02340-01 Rev. A
 Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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.

NOTE: Operate G1000H NXi system power through at least one cycle in a period of
four days of continuous operation to avoid an autonomous system reboot.

NOTE: The purpose of this Cockpit Reference Guide is to provide the pilot a resource
with which to find operating instructions on the major features of the system more
easily. It is not intended to be a comprehensive operating guide. Complete operating
procedures for the system are found in the Pilot’s Guide for this aircraft.

altitude accuracy is affected by satellite geometry, but is not subject to variations in pressure
and temperature that normally affect pressure altitude sensors. GSL altitude does not require

DEAD RECKONING NAVIGATION

Instruments
Flight
While in Enroute or Oceanic phase of flight, if the system 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 system uses its last-known position combined with continuously
updated airspeed and heading data (when available) to calculate and display the aircraft’s cur-

EIS
rent estimated position.
It is important to note that estimated navigation data supplied by the system in DR Mode
may become increasingly unreliable and must not be used as a sole means of navigation. If

XPDR/Audio
Nav/Com/
while in DR Mode airspeed and/or heading data is also lost or not available, the DR function
may not be capable of accurately tracking estimated position and, consequently, the system
may display a path that is different than the actual movement of the aircraft. Estimated posi-

Management
tion information displayed by the system through DR while there is no heading and/or air-

Flight
speed data available should not be used for navigation.
DR Mode is inherently less accurate than the standard GPS/SBAS Mode due to the lack of
satellite measurements needed to determine a position. Changes in wind speed and/or wind

Avoidance
direction compound the relative inaccuracy of DR Mode. Because of this degraded accuracy,

Hazard
other navigation equipment must be relied upon for position awareness until GPS-derived
position data is restored.
DR Mode is indicated on the system by the appearance of the letters ‘DR’ displayed in amber

AFCS
on the HSI below and to the left of the aircraft symbol on the CDI, and on top of the aircraft
symbol on the navigation maps and the VSD inset window. The CDI bar is removed. The
