WARNING: Traffic information shown on the G500 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: XM Weather should not be used for hazardous weather
penetration. Weather information provided by the GDL 69/69A 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: For safety reasons, G500 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 Pilot’s Guide. Thoroughly practice
basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully
compare indications from the G500 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: Never use the G500 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 radar echo.”
WARNING: Exceeding 200 deg/second in pitch or roll may invalidate
AHRS attitude provided to the G500. Exceeding 450 KIAS may invalidate
ADC information provided to the G500.
WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth’s magnetic field, operating
the G500 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 south of 55° South latitude between
longitude 120° East and 165° East.
