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: The altitude calculated by G950 GPS receivers is geometric
height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude
displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the GDC 74A Air Data Computer, or
other altimeters in the aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical
navigation. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the G950 PFD or other
pressure altimeters in aircraft.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the
G950 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 Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their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 the G950 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: For safety reasons, G950 operational procedures must be learned
on the ground.

190-01326-00 Rev. A

Garmin G950® Cockpit Reference Guide for the Vulcanair P68

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: The Garmin G950 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 G950. 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 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 G950 utilize GPS as a precision
electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by the G950 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 G950 Pilot’s Guide documentation. Thoroughly
practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully
compare indications from the G950 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 G950 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.”

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.

Garmin G950® Cockpit Reference Guide for the Vulcanair P68

190-01326-00 Rev. A

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

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 G950 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 G950 panel and displays, are subject to change and may not
reflect the most current G950 system and aviation databases. 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.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from
government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the
data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.

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: 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 G950 system more easily. It is not intended to be a comprehensive
operating guide. Complete operating procedures for the system are found
in the G950 Pilot’s Guide for this aircraft.

Some flight plan waypoints were successfully imported
from the SD card, however others had errors and were not

The file stored on the SD card did not contain a flight plan,
only user waypoints. One or more of these waypoints did
not import successfully.

‘Too many points. Flight plan
truncated.’

The flight plan on the SD card contains more waypoints
than the system can support. The flight plan was imported
with as many waypoints as possible.

‘Some waypoints not loaded.
Waypoints locked.’

The flight plan on the SD card contains one or more
waypoints that the system cannot find in the navigation
database. The flight plan has been imported, but must be
edited within the system before it can be activated for use.

‘User waypoint database full.
Not all loaded.’

The flight plan file on the SD card contains user waypoints.
The quantity of stored user waypoints has exceeded
system capacity, therefore not all the user waypoints on
the SD card have been imported. Any flight plan user
waypoints that were not imported are locked in the flight
plan. The flight plan must be edited within the system
before it can be activated for use.
