Garmin G3X MFD Quick Reference Guide
190-01055-00 Rev. A
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: XM
®
Weather should not be used for hazardous weather
penetration. Weather information 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: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the
G3X MFD 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: The Garmin G3X MFD 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 G3X MFD. 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: For safety reasons, G3X MFD operational procedures must be
learned on the ground.
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 G3X MFD utilize GPS as a
precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,
information presented by the G3X MFD can be misused or misinterpreted
and, therefore, become unsafe.
