Warnings, Cautions, and Notes WARNING: Traffic information shown on the GTN 625/635/650 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, GTN 625/635/650 operational procedures must be learned on the ground. WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the GTN 625/635/650 Pilot's Guide as well as this guide. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the GTN 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 datalinked weather 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." CAUTION: 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 GTN 625/635/650 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GTN can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. 190-01004-04 Rev. C GTN 625/635/650 Cockpit Reference Guide (CRG) iii
