WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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Do not use outdated database information.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 Pilots using any outdated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 an aid to
enhance situational awareness.

WARNING:

The Garmin G1000 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:

WARNING:

For safety reasons, G1000 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.

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 Airplane Flight Manual. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to
actual use. During fl ight 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.

CAUTION:

The G1000 PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a special anti-refl ective 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 specifi ed as safe for anti-refl ective coatings.

NOTE:

All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the G1000 panel
and displays, are subject to change and may not refl ect the most current G1000 system. Depictions of
equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
