CAUTION
The Global Positioning System is operated by the United States government,
which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to
changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment.
Although the GARMIN GNC 250XL is a precision electronic NAVigation AID
(NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and therefore become
unsafe.
Use the GNC 250XL at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation,
carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual and thoroughly
practice using the simulator mode prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully
compare indications from the GNC 250XL to all available navigation sources, includ-
ing the information from other NAVAIDS, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety,
always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
The altitude calculated by the GNC 250XL is geometric height above mean sea
level and could vary significantly from altitude displayed by pressure altimeters in air-
craft. Never use GPS altitude for vertical navigation.
The Jeppesen database incorporated in the GNC 250XL must be updated regular-
ly in order to ensure that its information is current. Updates are released every 28
days. A database information packet is included in your GNC 250XL package.
Pilots using an out-of-date database do so entirely at their own risk.
