Warnings, Cautions & Notes WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the aera 795/796 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding "by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an intense radar echo." WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the aera 795/796 Pilot's Guide documentation and the Pilot's Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the aera 795/796 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: The Garmin aera 795/796 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 aera 795/796. 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, aera 795/796 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 aera 795/796 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the aera 795/796 can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. WARNING: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. 190-01194-00 Rev. A Garmin aera 795/796 Pilot's Guide

Garmin aera 795/796 Pilot’s Guide

190-01194-00 Rev. A

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING:

The illustrations in this guide are only examples.

Never use the

aera 795/796 to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm.

Both the FAA Advisory

Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual

(AIM) recommend avoiding “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identiﬁed

as severe or giving an intense radar echo.”

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and

understand all aspects of the aera 795/796 Pilot’s Guide documentation and

the Pilot’s Operating Handbook of the aircraft.

Thoroughly practice basic

operation prior to actual use.

During ﬂight operations, carefully compare

indications from the aera 795/796 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:

The Garmin aera 795/796 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 aera 795/796.

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, aera 795/796 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 aera 795/796 utilize GPS as a

precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID).

Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs,

information presented by the aera 795/796 can be misused or misinterpreted

and, therefore, become unsafe.

WARNING:

The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes

from government agencies.

Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates

the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
