Safety notes

  • Keep the Pilot's Operating Handbook in the airplane at all times. Check that your copy and its revisions match the airplane's serial number.
  • The G1000 Terrain Proximity feature is only an aid to terrain avoidance, not a primary reference. Never use GPS altitude for vertical navigation.
  • Do not fly with outdated G1000 database information; databases must be updated regularly.
