WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
Warnings, Cautions, & Notes
WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function.The GDU 620 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 warning 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 GDU 620 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 GDU 620. 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 Air Data Computer, or other pressure altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the GDU 620 PFD or other pressure altimeters in aircraft.
WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the G500 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 Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
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 GDU 620 Multi-Function Display 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: XM Weather should not be used for hazardous weather penetration.Weather information provided by the GDL 69/69A is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration.
WARNING: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning purposes only. Due to inherent delays in data transmission and the relative age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range weather avoidance.
WARNING: For safety reasons, GDU 620 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G500 Pilot’s Guide. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the GDU 620 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: Never use the G500 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Airman’s Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an intense radar echo”.
WARNING: Exceeding 200 deg/second in pitch or roll may invalidate AHRS attitude provided to the GDU 620. Exceeding 450 KIAS may invalidate ADC information provided to the GDU 620.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the G500 within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications. North of 70° North latitude and south of 70° South latitude.An area north of 65° North latitude and between longitude 75° West and 120° West. An area south of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° East and 165° East.
WARNING: Do not use Terrain-SVT information for primary terrain avoidance. Terrain-SVT is intended only to enhance situational awareness.
CAUTION: 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 GDU 620 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GDU 620 can be misused or misinterpreted and therefore, become unsafe.
CAUTION: The Garmin GDU 620 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 pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
CAUTION: The GDU 620 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 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: 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 feet away from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition.

PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD)
Introduction
This reference guide covers the operation of the GDU 620 as integrated in the G500 system. The G500 Avionics Display System is an advanced technology avionics suite designed to replace the traditional flight instrument cluster. The system combines primary flight instrumentation, navigational information, and a moving map all displayed on dual 6.5 inch color screens. The G500 system is composed of sub-units or Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). LRUs have a modular design and can be installed directly behind the instrument panel or in a separate avionics bay if desired. This design greatly eases troubleshooting and maintenance of the G500 system. A failure or problem can be isolated to a particular LRU, which can be replaced quickly and easily. Each LRU has a particular function, or set of functions, that contributes to the system’s operation. For more details on the G500 system, refer to the G500 Pilot’s Guide, P/N 190-01102-02 Rev. A or later.
