WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES Warnings, Cautions, & Notes WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES ii WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The GDU 620 Terrain Proximity 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.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES 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 GDU 620 Multi-Function Display is provided as an aid in visually acquiring traffic.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNING: Do not use Terrain-SVT information for primary terrain avoidance. Terrain-SVT is intended only to enhance situational awareness. WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES CAUTION: 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.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES 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. NOTE: Terrain data is not displayed when the aircraft latitude is greater than 75° North or 60° South.
