March, 2015 190-01896-00 Rev. A Printed in the U.S.A.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon
the use of the terrain avoidance feature. The terrain avoidance 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 avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for
terrain avoidance. 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in
the G1000 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the
information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so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 system displays 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.

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.

190-01896-00 Rev. A

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Diamond DA62

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Use of the onboard lightning detection system is not intended
for hazardous weather penetration (thunderstorm penetration). Onboard
lightning detection system information, as displayed on the G1000 MFD, is
to be used only for weather avoidance, not penetration.

WARNING: The Garmin G1000, as installed in the Diamond DA62 aircraft, 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 G1000. 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: For safety reasons, G1000 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 Garmin G1000 utilize GPS as a
precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by the G1000 can be misused or misinterpreted and,
therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the G1000 Pilot’s Guide documentation and the
Diamond DA62 Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH). Thoroughly practice basic
operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare
indications from the G1000 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.

WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use
the G1000 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory
Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual
(AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified
as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Lamp(s) inside this product may 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.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.

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
cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI­REFLECTIVE 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 anti­reflective coatings.

CAUTION: The Garmin G1000 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: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen
images of the G1000 panel and displays, are subject to change and may not
reflect the most current G1000 system and aviation databases. Depictions
of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

190-01896-00 Rev. A

Garmin G1000 Cockpit Reference Guide for the Diamond DA62

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from
government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the

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: 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.

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: 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.’

190-01896-00 Rev. A

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: 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.’

all calculated based on the last manual adjustment of the fuel remaining (GAL REM).

Measured fuel quantity has no effect on fuel calculations. Fuel calculations are

based on sensed fuel flow and the last manual adjustment of the fuel remaining.

- DEC FUEL – Allows the pilot to decrease the gallons of fuel remaining (GAL
REM) in 1-gallon increments

- INC FUEL – Allows the pilot to increase the gallons of fuel remaining in
1-gallon increments

- RST FUEL – Resets the fuel remaining to 50.0 gallons with standard fuel tanks
or 86 gallons with auxiliary fuel tanks. Reset gallons used to zero.
