Document Precedence
This Pilot’s Guide provides general information about the operation
of the NGT-9000. Refer to your FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual
(AFM) and its flight manual supplements for information specific to
your aircraft. If there is conflicting information between the AFM and
this guide, the AFM takes precedence over this guide.
Disclaimer
This Pilot’s Guide is subject to change without notice. The illustrations
in this guide are typical for the Lynx NGT-9000.
Screen information may look different on displays interfaced with
the Lynx NGT-9000. Refer to the pilot’s guide for that display for a
description of how information is depicted.
The installation of ADS-B In avionics provides the pilot with
supplemental information and does not replace a pilot’s see-and-avoid
responsibility. This equipment is not approved as a collision avoidance
tool. Any deviation from an air traffic control clearance based on cockpit
information must be approved by the controlling ATC facility prior to
commencing the maneuver. Uncoordinated deviations may place an
aircraft in close proximity to other aircraft under ATC control not seen
on the airborne equipment and may possibly result in the issuance of
a pilot deviation.
ADS-B is currently being deployed throughout the National Airspace
System (NAS). The availability of U.S. ground based transceivers
(GBT) is limited in selected areas. For information regarding the
FAA’s system of ADS-B, TIS-B, ADS-R, and FIS-B refer to the FAA’s
Aeronautical Information Manual sections 4-5-7 to 4-5-10.
Revision Highlights
Add release 1.2 changes which includes new configuration options
to remove TIS-B no coverage indicator, remove FIS-B function.
