Garmin G950 Pilot’s Guide for the Tecnam P2006T 190-01146-00 Rev. AiiWARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTESWARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain avoidancefeature. The terrain avoidance feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidanceand does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. Theterrain avoidance feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance. Terrain data is obtained fromthird party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data.WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not berelied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to currentaeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.WARNING: The altitude calculated by G950 GPS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level andcould vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the GDC 74A Air DataComputer, or other altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation. Alwaysuse pressure altitude displayed by the G950 PFD or other pressure altimeters in aircraft.WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the G950 system must be updatedregularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do soentirely at their own risk.WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data isintended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid toenhance situational awareness.WARNING: Traffic information shown on the G950 Multi Function Display is provided as an aid in visuallyacquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visualacquisition of conflicting traffic.WARNING:The Garmin G950 has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot mustrecognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is notpractical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indicationshown by the G950. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.WARNING: For safety reasons, G950 operational procedures must be learned on the ground.
