WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The GTN 6XX 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. Terrain Proximity 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 GTN 6XX has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or selftest 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 6XX. 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WARNING: Do not use outdated database information.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 6XX 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 Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.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 6XX 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.

WARNING: Never use datalinked weather 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 radio echo.

WARNING: For safety reasons, GTN 6XX 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 625/635/650 Pilot’s Guide. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During ﬂight operations, carefully compare indications from the GTN 6XX 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 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 GTN 6XX utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GTN 6XX can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

CAUTION: The GTN 6XX 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 display lens has 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.

CAUTION: TFRs provided by datalink weather sources (i.e., FIS-B and SiriusXM) are only advisory and do not replace a thorough preﬂight brieﬁng on TFR times and locations. Not all TFRs may be shown. To determine accurate TFR information, verify with ofﬁcial sources, i.e., preﬂight planning or ﬂight service center.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the GTN bezel and displays, are subject to change and may not reﬂect the most current GTN software. 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 harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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 at www.ﬂyGarmin.com.

• 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. To see if an exclusion report exists for a speciﬁc database, visit www.ﬂyGarmin.com.

About This Guide

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, and index are hyperlinks that will take you directly to the selected item.

Services/

The GTN 625 has a GPS/SBAS engine and is TSO-C146c certiﬁed for primary domestic, oceanic, and remote navigation including en route, terminal, and non-precision approaches, and approaches with vertical guidance, such as LPV and LNAV/VNAV. The GTN 625 can simultaneously give aviators vital approach information and weather and trafﬁc data in relation to their position on a large, color moving map display. Thanks to a high-contrast color display, the information can be easily read from wide viewing angles even in direct sunlight. Its color moving map features a built-in database that shows cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes, coastlines, and a complete Jeppesen database. The Jeppesen database (that can be updated with a front-loading datacard) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSSs, Approaches, DPs/STARs, and SUA information.
