4.2.2 Terrain Proximity Limitations
TERRAIN Proximity displays terrain and obstructions relative to the altitude
of the aircraft. The displayed alerts are advisory in nature only. Individual
obstructions may be shown if available in the database. However, all obstructions
may not be available in the database and data may be inaccurate. Never use this
information for navigation or to maneuver to avoid obstacles.
Terrain information is based on terrain elevation information in a database
that may contain inaccuracies. Terrain information should be used as an aid
to situational awareness. Never use it for navigation or to maneuver to avoid
terrain.
TERRAIN uses terrain and obstacle information supplied by government
sources. The displayed information should never be understood as being all-
inclusive.
NOTE: The data contained in the TERRAIN databases comes from
government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the
data but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
4.2.3 System Status
The TERRAIN system continually monitors several system-critical items,
such as database validity, hardware status, and GPS status. Should the system
detect a failure, a failure message will be displayed.
