Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: When installing the aera

™

, place the unit so it does not obstruct

the ﬁeld of view or interfere with operating controls.

WARNING: The indicators represented on the Panel are based on GPS-derived

data and may differ from the instruments in the aircraft.

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon

the use of the terrain function. The aera

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. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain

avoidance and is not certiﬁed for use in applications requiring a certiﬁed

terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained from third 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 be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and

terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts

for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.

WARNING: The altitude calculated by aera GPS receivers is geometric height

above Mean Sea Level and could vary signiﬁcantly from the altitude displayed

by pressure altimeters. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the aircraft

altimeter when determining or selecting aircraft altitude.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the

aera system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information

remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their

own risk.

WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in,

near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within

data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather

conditions.

190-01117-02 Rev. C

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to

determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather

product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather

data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data

link weather product may be signiﬁcantly older than the indicated weather

product age.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and

understand all aspects of the aera Pilot’s Guide documentation and the Pilot’s

Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic operation

prior to actual use. During ﬂight operations, carefully compare indications

from the aera 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: The Garmin aera has a very high degree of functional integrity.

However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test

capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely,

it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication

shown by the aera. 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, aera operational procedures must be learned

on the ground.

WARNING: 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 aera utilize GPS as a precision

electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,

information presented by the aera can be misused or misinterpreted and,

therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes

from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates

the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.

Warnings, Cautions & 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:

Do not rely solely upon the display of trafﬁc information for collision

avoidance maneuvering. The trafﬁc display does not provide collision avoidance

resolution advisories and does not, under any circumstances or conditions, relieve

the pilot’s responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft.

WARNING:

Do not rely solely upon the display of trafﬁc information to accurately

depict all of the trafﬁc within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor

signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations,

trafﬁc may be present that is not represented on the display.

CAUTION: Avoid using any chemical or abrasive cleaners on the touchscreen

and/or plastic casing. Clean the touchscreen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.

Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed.

CAUTION: The Garmin aera does not contain any user-serviceable parts.

Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center.

Unauthorized repairs or modiﬁcations could void both the warranty and the

pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen

images of the aera panel and displays, are subject to change and may not

reﬂect the most current aera system and aviation databases. Depictions of

equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive

harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition

65. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please

refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the display to appear dim or

blank.

NOTE: Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA and

may not be updated outside of normal business hours. Conﬁrm data currency

through alternate sources and contact your local FSS for interpretation of TFR

data.
