Warnings, Cautions, & Notes

WARNING:

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:

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:

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.

Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated

The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory

The Garmin GDU 620 has a very high degree of functional

WARNING:

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 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:

in the G500 or G600 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 Pilots using an outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

The altitude calculated by GPS receivers is geometric height

Do not use outdated database information. Databases used

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:

Display is provided as an aid in visually acquiring trafﬁc. Pilots must

Trafﬁc information shown on the GDU 620 Multi-Function

maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conﬂicting trafﬁc.

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, 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 G500/600 Pilot’s Guide. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During ﬂight operations, carefully compare indications from the G500/600 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.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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.

WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth’s magnetic ﬁeld, operating the G500/600 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 north of 70° North latitude and between longitude 85° East and 114° West. An area south of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° East and 165° East.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

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.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES

NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) information. Always conﬁrm TFR information through ofﬁcial sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Trafﬁc Control.

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.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the GDU 620 bezel and displays, are subject to change and may not reﬂect the most current GDU 620 system. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND 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: Terrain data is not displayed when the aircraft latitude is greater than 75° North or 60° South.

NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/ prop65.

NOTE: Terrain-SVT is standard when the Synthetic Vision Technology™ (SVT) option is installed. The TAWS option will take precedence over TerrainSVT.

NOTE: Do not use SafeTaxi, FliteCharts, or Chartview functions as the basis for ground maneuvering. SafeTaxi, FliteCharts, and Chartview functions have not been qualiﬁed to be used as an airport moving map display (AMMD). SafeTaxi, FliteCharts, and Chartview are intended to improve pilot situational awareness during ground operations and should only be used by the ﬂight crew to orient themselves on the airport surface.

PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD)

Introduction

This reference guide covers the operation of the GDU 620 as integrated in the G500 and G600 Avionics Display Systems. The G500 and G600 Avionics Display Systems are avionics suites that combine primary ﬂight instrumentation, navigational information, and a moving map all displayed on dual 6.5 inch color screens. The G500 and G600 systems are 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 or G600 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 and G600 systems, refer to the latest revision of the G500/600 Pilot’s Guide, P/N 190-00601-02.

The outside air temperature is displayed to the left of the HSI. The air data computer calculates the temperature based on temperature probe and pitot/ static inputs. The units (°C or °F) and temperature reference are selected on the AUX – SYSTEM SETUP page. The temperature reference can be selected to one of the following choices:

•

Static Air Temperature (SAT) – This is the calculated temperature of the stationary (static) outside air. Conceptually, this is the temperature that would be read on a thermometer ﬂoating stationary at the current location.

• Total Air Temperature (TAT) – This is the calculated temperature of the outside air as it moves past the aircraft, including the rise in temperature due to air compression and friction at the current airspeed.

• Difference from International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) – This is the difference between SAT and standard (ISA) temperature at the current altitude. This provides an indication of how much warmer/colder the temperature is from a “standard” atmosphere.
