WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND 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: Traffic information shown on the G500H 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, G500H operational procedures must be learned on the ground. WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the G500H Pilot's Guide. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the G500H 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 G500H 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 G500H. 190-01150-03 Rev B G500H Cockpit Reference Guide iii
