Foreword System Sec 1 PFD Sec 2 4.2.2 Terrain Proximity Limitations TERRAIN Proximity displays terrain and obstructions relative to the altitude of the aircraft. The displayed alerts are advisory in nature only. Individual obstructions may be shown if available in the database. However, all obstructions may not be available in the database and data may be inaccurate. Never use this information for navigation or to maneuver to avoid obstacles. Terrain information is based on terrain elevation information in a database that may contain inaccuracies. Terrain information should be used as an aid to situational awareness. Never use it for navigation or to maneuver to avoid terrain. TERRAIN uses terrain and obstacle information supplied by government sources. The displayed information should never be understood as being allinclusive. NOTE: The data contained in the TERRAIN databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. 4.2.3 System Status The TERRAIN system continually monitors several system-critical items, such as database validity, hardware status, and GPS status. Should the system detect a failure, a failure message will be displayed. MFD Sec 3 Features Avoidance Hazard Sec 4 Additional Sec 5 & Alerts Annun.
