Sec 2 PFD Sec 1 System Foreword 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.

Appendix A Appendix B Index iii Sec 8 Glossary Garmin G600 Pilot’s Guide Sec 7 Symbols 190-00601-02 Rev. F Sec 6 Annun. & Alerts WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth’s magnetic field, operating the G600 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.

Foreword WARNING: Do not use Terrain-SVT information for primary terrain avoidance. Terrain-SVT is intended only to enhance situational awareness. Sec 2 PFD Sec 1 System 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. Portions of the Garmin GDU 620 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID).

1.1.2 GDU 620 Foreword Sec 1 System The GDU 620 has dual VGA (640 x 480 pixels) 6.5 inch LCD displays. The left side of the GDU is a PFD and the right side is the MFD. In some models or installations, the PFD and MFD and their controls are switched to the other side. The MFD shows a moving map, flight plan, weather, and other supplemental data. The PFD shows primary flight information, in place of traditional pitotstatic and gyroscopic systems and also provides an HSI for navigation.
PAGE 22
GDC 74A/74B The GDC 74A/74B Air Data Computer (ADC) compiles information from the pitot/static system and an Outside Air Temperature (OAT) sensor. The GDC 74A/74B provides pressure altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and OAT information to the G600 system. The GDC 74A/74B communicates with the GDU 620 and GRS 77 using an ARINC 429 digital interface. Sec 3 MFD Sec 2 PFD Sec 1 System Foreword 1.1.3 1.1.
PAGE 23
1.1.5 GMU 44 Foreword Sec 1 System The GMU 44 magnetometer senses the earth’s magnetic field. Data is sent to the GRS 77 AHRS for processing to determine aircraft magnetic heading. This unit receives power directly from the GRS 77 and communicates with the GRS 77 using a RS-485 digital interface. Sec 2 PFD Figure 1-6 GMU 44 Magnetometer GTX 330/330D (Optional) Sec 3 MFD 1.1.6 1.1.7 Sec 6 Annun. & Alerts NOTE: GTX 33/33D can also be used to display traffic information on the GDU 620.

Sec 2 PFD Sec 1 System Foreword 1.1.9 GDL 69/69A (Optional) The GDL 69/69A is a Sirius XM Satellite Radio Data Link Receiver that receives broadcast weather data. The GDL 69A is the same as the GDL 69 with the addition of an Sirius XM Satellite Radio audio entertainment receiver. Weather data and control of audio channel and volume is displayed on the MFD, via a High-Speed Data Bus (HSDB) Ethernet connection. The GDL 69A is also interfaced to an audio panel for distribution of the audio signal.

4.10.2 Radar Signal Reflectivity 4.10.2.1 Precipitation Sec 2 PFD Sec 3 MFD Sec 4 Hazard Avoidance Sec 5 Additional Features Precipitation or objects more dense than water, such as earth or solid structures, will be detected by the weather radar. The weather radar will not detect clouds, thunderstorms or turbulence directly. It detects precipitation associated with clouds, thunderstorms, and turbulence. The best radar signal reflectors are raindrops, wet snow or wet hail.
PAGE 252
Ground Returns The intensity of ground target returns depends upon the angle at which the radar beam strikes the ground target (Angle of Incidence) and the reflective properties of that target. The gain can be adjusted so shorelines, rivers, lakes, and cities are well defined. Increasing gain too much causes the display to fill in between targets, thus obscuring some landmarks. Cities normally provide a strong return signal.
