190-02040-01 Rev. B
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Do not use terrain avoidance displays as the sole source of
information for maintaining separation from terrain and obstacles. Garmin
obtains terrain and obstacle data from third party sources and cannot
independently verify the accuracy of the information.
WARNING: Always refer to current aeronautical charts and NOTAMs for
verification of displayed aeronautical information. Displayed aeronautical
data may not incorporate the latest NOTAM information.
WARNING: Do not use geometric altitude for compliance with air traffic
control altitude requirements.The primary barometric altimeter must be used
for compliance with all air traffic control altitude regulations, requirements,
instructions, and clearances.
WARNING: Do not use basemap information (land and water data) as the
sole means of navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other
approved navigation data sources and should be considered only an aid to
enhance situational awareness.
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to
accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack
of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from
aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on
the display.
WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near,
or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data
link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions.
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather
product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather
data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data
link weather product may be older than the indicated weather product age.

Garmin G1000 NXi Cockpit Reference Guide for the Beechcraft 200/B200 Series 190-02040-01 Rev. B
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Do not rely on the displayed minimum safe altitude (MSAs) as
the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer
to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.
WARNING: Do not operate this equipment without first obtaining qualified
instruction.
WARNING: Do not use GPS to navigate to any active waypoint identified as
a ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ by a system message. ‘NON WGS84 WPT’ waypoints
are derived from an unknown map reference datum that may be incompatible
with the map reference datum used by GPS (known as WGS84) and may be
positioned in error as displayed.
WARNING: Do not rely on the autopilot to level the aircraft at the MDA/DH
when flying an approach with vertical guidance. The autopilot will not level
the aircraft at the MDA/DH even if the MDA/DH is set in the altitude preselect.
WARNING: Traffic information shown on system displays is provided as an
aid in visually acquiring traffic. Traffic avoidance maneuvers are based upon
TCAS II Resolution Advisories, ATC guidance, or positive visual acquisition of
conflicting traffic.
WARNING: Do not rely on the accuracy of attitude and heading indications in
the following geographic areas (due to variations in the earth’s magnetic field):
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: Do not rely on information from a lightning detection system
display as the sole basis for hazardous weather avoidance. Range limitations
and interference may cause the system to display inaccurate or incomplete
information. Refer to documentation from the lightning detection system
manufacturer for detailed information about the system.

190-02040-01 Rev. B
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
WARNING: Use appropriate primary systems for navigation, and for terrain,
obstacle, and traffic avoidance. Garmin SVT is intended as an aid to situational
awareness only and may not provide either the accuracy or reliability upon
which to solely base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain,
obstacles, or traffic.
WARNING: Do not use the Garmin SVT runway depiction as the sole means
for determining the proximity of the aircraft to the runway or for maintaining
the proper approach path angle during landing.
WARNING: Do not operate the weather radar in a transmitting mode when
personnel or objects are within the MPEL boundary.
WARNING: Always position the weather radar gain setting to Calibrated
for viewing the actual intensity of precipitation. Changing the gain in
weather mode causes precipitation intensity to be displayed as a color not
representative of the true intensity.
WARNING: Do not use TAWS information for primary terrain or obstacle
avoidance. TAWS is intended only to enhance situational awareness.
CAUTION: Do not clean display surfaces with abrasive cloths or cleaners
containing ammonia. They will harm the anti-reflective coating.
C AUTION: Do not allow repairs to be made by anyone other than an authorized
Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both
the warranty and affect the airworthiness of the aircraft.
NOTE: Intruder aircraft at or below 500 ft.AGL may not appear on the Garmin
SVT display or may appear as a partial symbol.
NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight
Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirmTFR information through official
sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control.

Warnings, Cautions & Notes
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen
images of the system panel and displays, are subject to change and may
not reflect the most current system and aviation databases. Depictions of
equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
NOTE: 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 system utilize GPS as a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information
presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore,
become unsafe.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:(1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
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: 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: Operating the system in the vicinity of metal buildings,metal structures,
or electromagnetic fields can cause sensor differences that may result in
nuisance miscompare annunciations during start up, shut down, or while
taxiing. If one or more of the sensed values are unavailable, the annunciation
indicates no comparison is possible.

190-02040-01 Rev. B
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
NOTE: The system responds to a terminal procedure based on data coded
within that procedure in the Navigation Database. Differences in system
operation may be observed among similar types of procedures due to
differences in the Navigation Database coding specific to each procedure.
NOTE: The FAA has asked Garmin to remind pilots who fly with Garmin
database-dependent avionics of the following:
• It is the pilot’s responsibility to remain familiar with all FAA regulatory and
advisory guidance and information related to the use of databases in the
National Airspace System.
• Garmin equipment will only recognize and use databases that are obtained
from Garmin or Jeppesen. Databases obtained from Garmin or Jeppesen are
assured compliance with all data quality requirements (DQRs) by virtue of
a Type 2 Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the FAA. A copy of the Type 2
LOA is available for each database and can be viewed at http://fly.garmin.
com by selecting ‘Type 2 LOA Status.’
• Use of a current Garmin or Jeppesen database in your Garmin equipment
is required for compliance with established FAA regulatory guidance, but
does not constitute authorization to fly any and all terminal procedures that
may be presented by the system. It is the pilot’s responsibility to operate in
accordance with establishedAFM(S) and regulatory guidance or limitations
as applicable to the pilot, the aircraft, and installed equipment.
NOTE: The pilot/operator must review and be familiar with Garmin’s database
exclusion list as discussed in SAIB CE-14-04 to determine what data may be
incomplete. The database exclusion list can be viewed at www.flygarmin.
com by selecting ‘Database Exclusions List.’
NOTE: The pilot/operator must have access to Garmin and Jeppesen database
alerts and consider their impact on the intended aircraft operation. The
database alerts can be viewed at www.flygarmin.com by selecting ‘Aviation
Database Alerts.’
NOTE: If the pilot/operator wants or needs to adjust the database, contact
Garmin Product Support to coordinate the revised DQRs.

Garmin G1000 NXi Cockpit Reference Guide for the Beechcraft 200/B200 Series 190-02040-01 Rev. B
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
NOTE: Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies
related to database information.These discrepancies could come in the form
of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes;or
any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or
on the ground. Go to FlyGarmin.com and select ‘Aviation Data Error Report’.
NOTE: When operating the system with the magnetic sensor uncoupled
from the AHRS, the displayed heading and heading information used by
some system components (e.g. traffic system, AFCS, and weather radar) will
be different from the heading calculated by the AHRS. The difference is an
amount equal to the difference between the current Magnetic Field Variation
Database (MV DB) value, and the MV DB value when the magnetic sensor
was uncoupled. Due to the convergence of isogonic lines, this condition is
most noticeable at or near the north and south magnetic poles.
NOTE: System navigation utilities may not reliably calculate range and bearing
information when the aircraft is operating north of 80° North latitude or south
of 80° South latitude. This may result in the system displaying small gaps in
racetrack holding pattern depictions (GRS 7800 installations only).
NOTE: When using Stormscope, there are several atmospheric phenomena in
addition to nearby thunderstorms that can cause isolated discharge points in
the strike display mode. However, clusters of two or more discharge points
in the strike display mode do indicate thunderstorm activity if these points
reappear after the screen has been cleared.
NOTE: System navigation utilities may not reliably calculate range and bearing
information when the aircraft is operating north of 89° North latitude or south
of 89° South latitude. This may result in the system displaying small gaps in
racetrack holding pattern depictions (GRS 7800 installations only).
NOTE: Operate G1000 NXi system power through at least one cycle in a
period of four days of continuous operation to avoid an autonomous system
reboot.

190-02040-01 Rev. B
Warnings, Cautions & Notes
NOTE: The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain
Special Procedures. Prior to flying these procedures, pilots must have specific
FAA authorization, training, and possession of the corresponding current,
and legitimately-sourced chart (approach plate, etc.). Inclusion of the
Special Procedure in the navigation database DOES NOT imply specific FAA
authorization to fly the procedure.
NOTE: Electronic aeronautical charts displayed on this system have been
shown to meet the guidance in AC 120 76D as a Type B Electronic Flight Bag
(EFB) for FlightCharts and ChartView. The accuracy of the charts is subject to
the chart data provider. Own-ship position on airport surface charts cannot be
guaranteed to meet the accuracy specified inAC 120-76D. Possible additional
requirements may make a secondary source of aeronautical charts, such as
traditional paper charts or an additional electronic display, necessary on the
aircraft and available to the pilot. If the secondary source of aeronautical
charts is a Portable Electronic Device (PED), its use must be consistent with
the guidance in AC 120-76D.
NOTE: The nose of the ‘own ship’ symbol represents the location of the air-
craft. The center of any traffic symbol represents the location of that traffic.
The traffic and own ship symbols are an abstract representation and do not
reflect the physical extent of the aircraft/traffic, and should not replace other
methods for identifying traffic.
NOTE: The purpose of this Cockpit Reference Guide is to provide the pilot a
resource with which to find operating instructions on the major features of
the system more easily. It is not intended to be a comprehensive operating
guide. Complete operating procedures for the system are found in the Pilot’s
Guide for this aircraft.
