WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated
upon the use of the terrain function. The GTN 725/750 Terrain Proximity
feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain
avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being
aware of surroundings during flight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only
to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in
applications requiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data
is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently
verify the accuracy of the terrain data.

WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (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: The Garmin GTN 725/750 has a very high degree of functional
integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring
and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not
practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation
to occur without a fault indication shown by the GTN 725/750. It is thus
the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of
cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in
the cockpit.

WARNING: The altitude calculated by GPS receivers is geometric height
above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude
displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the output from the GDC 74A/B
Air Data Computer, or other altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never
be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by
pressure altimeters in the aircraft.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used
in the GTN 725/750 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure
that the information remains current. Pilots using an outdated database
do so entirely at their own risk.

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 as an aid to
enhance situational awareness.

WARNING: Traffic information shown on the GTN 725/750 is provided as
an aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based
only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic.

Foreword

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 significantly older than the indicated

weather product age.

WARNING: For safety reasons, GTN 725/750 operational procedures must
be learned on the ground.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the GTN 725/750 Pilot’s Guide. Thoroughly
practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations,
carefully compare indications from the GTN 725/750 to all available
navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies
before continuing navigation.

GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin GTN 725/750
utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore,
as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GTN 725/750 can be
misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

CAUTION: The Garmin GTN 725/750 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.

CAUTION: The GTN displays use a lens coated with a special anti-reflective
coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners.
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 coatings.

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

database 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."

190-01007-03 Rev. J

Welcome

Foreword

Welcome to the GTN era of navigation. The Garmin GTN supports airway
navigation and flexible flight planning, including arrival and departure
procedures and precision approaches. All of these advanced features are easily
accessed with an easy-to-use touchscreen display, another first for general
aviation. You can be confident in knowing that this product has been designed
to meet or exceed industry performance standards and is supported through a
global network of Garmin Aviation Distributors.

About This Guide

Direct-To

Take a little time to review the various sections of this guide to familiarize
yourself with it. First, read this section and the Getting Started section as an
introduction to quickly get you started with the GTN. The other sections are
not meant to necessarily be read in order, but provide detailed information
on the subject they contain as you need them. Do take the time to review the
information before using the product to assist you in getting the most out of
your avionics.

Generally, a feature will be described in a section that provides a brief
description, a graphic functional diagram, and step-by-step procedures. If read
cover-to-cover sequentially, the information may seem repetitive. The guide is
designed as a reference and learning tool where you will generally skip around
the document learning about a particular feature or function after becoming
familiar with the unit.

Electronic Document Features

Versions of this guide are saved in the Adobe Portable Document Format
(pdf) and have features that help the user navigate more easily through the
document. The cover icons, Table of Contents, Index, and side tabs (i.e., FPL,
Map, Traffic, etc.) are hyperlinks that will take you directly to the selected item.

Versions of aviation products in the pdf format are available at www.garmin.
com/manuals.
