Foreward Sec 1 System Sec 2 PFD Sec 3 MFD Sec 4 Hazard Avoidance Features Sec 5 Additional WARNING: Traffic information shown on the G500 Multi Function Display is provided as an aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic. WARNING: XM Weather should not be used for hazardous weather penetration. Weather information provided by the GDL 69/69A is approved only for weather avoidance, not penetration. WARNING: NEXRAD weather data is to be used for long-range planning purposes only. Due to inherent delays in data transmission and the relative age of the data, NEXRAD weather data should not be used for short-range weather avoidance. WARNING: For safety reasons, G500 operational procedures must be learned on the ground. WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G500 Pilot's Guide. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the G500 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: Never use the G500 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Airman's Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding "by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an intense radar echo." WARNING: Exceeding 200 deg/second in pitch or roll may invalidate AHRS attitude provided to the G500. Exceeding 450 KIAS may invalidate ADC information provided to the G500. WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth's magnetic field, operating the G500 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.
