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 ight manual supplements for information specic to
your aircraft. If there is conicting information between the AFM and
this guide, the AFM takes precedence over this guide.
Disclaimer
The term “Lynx NGT-9000” when used in this Pilot’s Guide
encompasses all models unless otherwise stated.
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 trafc 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
Incorporate software release 2.1 for Lightning Detection, transponder
standby mode using discrete switch options, squawk VFR disable
button, and option to display terrain without alerts.
