Garmin G3X Pilot’s Guide

190-01115-00 Rev. G

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the

use of the terrain function. The G3X Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to

be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot

from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during ﬂight. The Terrain

Proximity feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certiﬁed

for use in applications requiring a certiﬁed terrain awareness system. Terrain data

is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify

the accuracy of the terrain data.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand

all aspects of the G3X 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 G3X 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 displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in

nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain

avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate

minimum clearance altitudes.

WARNING: The altitude calculated by G3X internal GPS receivers is geometric height

above Mean Sea Level and could vary signiﬁcantly from the altitude displayed by

pressure altimeters. Always use pressure altitude displayed by the G3X PFD when

determining or selecting aircraft altitude.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the G3X

system must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains

current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

WARNING:

SiriusXMWeather 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 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.

190-01115-00 Rev. G

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: The illustrations in this guide are only examples. Never use the G3X

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: For safety reasons, G3X operational procedures must be learned on

the ground.

WARNING:

Because of variation in the earth’s magnetic ﬁeld, operating the G3X within

the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indications. North

of 72° North latitude at all longitudes; South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes;

North of 65° North latitude between longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada);

North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada);

North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia);

South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of

Australia and New Zealand)

WARNING: The Garmin G3X 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 G3X. 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: 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 G3X utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID

(NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the G3X can

be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.

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: Do not use the approach information provided by the VFR navigation

database residing within the G3X as a means of navigating any instrument

approach. The G3XVFR navigation database is limited to present only the waypoints

for the ﬁnal approach leg of a published procedure. These waypoints and associated

course line are made available for monitoring purposes only.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes

CAUTION: The display uses a lens coated with a special anti-reﬂective coating that

is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING

AMMONIA WILL HARM THE ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to

clean the lens using a clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is

speciﬁed as safe for anti-reﬂective coatings.

CAUTION: The Garmin G3X does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs

should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs

or modiﬁcations could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority to operate

this device under FAA/FCC regulations.

NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images

of the G3X panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reﬂect the most

current G3X system and aviation databases. Depictions of equipment may differ

slightly from the actual equipment.

NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This

notice is being provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65. If you have

any questions or would like additional information, please refer to our web site at

www.garmin.com/prop65.

NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause

an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the aircraft is on the

ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 yards away from the source of the

interference should alleviate the condition.

NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the ﬂight displays to appear dim or

blank.

NOTE: Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA and may

not be updated outside of normal business hours. Conﬁrm data currency through

alternate sources and contact your local FSS for interpretation of TFR data.

NOTE: The Garmin G3X system includes products like the GDU 37X and the GSU

73 that are not TSO-certiﬁed products and have not received FAA approval or

endorsement. Consequently the G3X system is not suitable for installation in

type-certiﬁcated aircraft.
