 Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Do not use the terrain avoidance feature as the sole means of
navigation and terrain separation. The terrain avoidance feature is only to
be used as and aid to terrain avoidance. Garmin obtains terrain database
content from third party sources and is not able to independently verify the
accuracy of the terrain data.

WARNING: Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as

the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. The displayed
minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature. Always refer to
current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.

WARNING: Do not use GPS-derived geometric altitude for compliance with air
traffic control altitude requirements in the National Airspace System (NAS) or
internationally. The primary barometric altimeter must be used for compliance
with all air traffic control altitude regulations, requirements, instructions, and
clearance.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in

the system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information
remains current.

WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for
primary 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 for
collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide colli-
sion 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 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.

190-00748-06 Rev. B Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Cessna Caravan
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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
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 significantly older than the indicated weather
product age.

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

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

WARNING: The Garmin system, as installed in this aircraft, has a very high
degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that provid-
ing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures
is not practical.

WARNING: Do not use the system until carefully reviewing, and gaining
a thorough understanding of all aspects of the system’s Pilot’s Guide docu-
mentation and the Airplane Flight Manual. Do not attempt to learn system
operational procedures while the aircraft is in the air. For safety reasons,
system operational procedures must be learned on the ground.

WARNING: 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 elec-
tronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information
presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,
become unsafe.

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Cessna Caravan 190-00748-06 Rev. B
 Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and

understand all aspects of the Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Airplane
Flight Manual. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During
flight operations, carefully compare indications from the system to all avail-
able navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies
before continuing navigation.

WARNING: Do not use the system to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm.

The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Both the FAA Advisory
Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) recommend avoiding any thunderstorm identified as severe of giving
intense radar echo by at least 20 miles.

WARNING: 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/environ-
ment/disposal.jsp.

WARNING: Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the

system within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and
heading indications. 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: 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.

190-00748-06 Rev. B Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Cessna Caravan
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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.

CAUTION: The PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special anti-
reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive clean-
ers. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE
COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth
and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe for anti-reflective coat-
ings.

CAUTION: The system does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs
should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized
repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority
to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.

NOTE: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena

in addition to nearby thunderstorm 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 cleaned.

NOTE: Do not rely 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 panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect
the most current system and databases. Depictions of equipment may differ
slightly from the actual equipment.

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.

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

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 if the air or
on the ground. Go to FlyGarmin.com and select Aviation Data Error Report.

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 G1000 system more easily. It is not intended to be a comprehensive
operating guide. Complete operating procedures for the system are found
in the G1000 Pilot’s Guide for this aircraft.

190-00748-06 Rev. B Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Cessna Caravan
Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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.

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 to coordinate the revised DQRs.

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 ‘Report An Aviation Data
Error Report.’

Precipitation Limitations
Radar images may have certain limitations:
XPDR/Audio
Nav/Com/

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

• Radar base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An

individual radar site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges. It has
no information about storms directly over the site.

• When zoomed in to a range of 30 nm, each square block on the display represents
an area of four square kilometers.
The following may cause abnormalities in displayed radar images:

DEAD RECKONING

XPDR/Audio
Nav/Com/
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

AFCS
combined with continuously updated airspeed and heading data (when available) to
calculate and display the aircraft’s current estimated position.

GPS Nav
NOTE: Dead Reckoning Mode only functions in Enroute (ENR) or Oceanic
(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

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
Annun/

not available, the DR function may not be capable of estimating your position and,
Alerts

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

navigation.
Index

 Abnormal Operation

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
