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.
All pilots/operators are reminded that the airborne equipment that
displays other ADS-B equipped aircraft and transponder equipped
aircraft via TIS-B is only for pilot situational awareness. 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 ground based transceivers (GBT) is
limited to 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.
