Warnings, Cautions & Notes WARNING: Traffic information 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 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.

Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 Owner’s Manual

190-00919-00 Rev. D

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING:

Trafﬁc information 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 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:

The Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 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 GPSMAP 695/696.

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, GPSMAP 695/696 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 GPSMAP 695/696 utilize GPS

as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID).

Therefore, as with all

NAVAIDs, information presented by the GPSMAP 695/696 can be misused

or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and

understand all aspects of the GPSMAP 695/696 User’s Manual documentation

and the Pilot’s Operating Handbook for the aircraft.

Thoroughly practice basic

operation prior to actual use.

During ﬂight operations, carefully compare

indications from the GPSMAP 695/696 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.
