It contains all of the information that must be provided in an Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) under Federal Aviation Regulation. Additional information is provided by the airplane manufacturer regarding the characteristics and operation of the airplane and its systems. This handbook is not designed as a substitute for adequate and competent flight instruction, knowledge of current airworthiness directives and applicable federal air regulations or advisory circulars. It is not intended to be a guide for basic flight instruction or a training manual. It should not be used for operational purposes unless kept in a current status under the revision procedure described on page iv. Assurance that the airplane is in an airworthy condition is the responsibility of the owner. The pilot in command is responsible for determining that the airplane is safe for flight. The pilot is also responsible for remaining within the operating limitations as outlined by instrument markings, placards, and this handbook. This handbook should not be used solely as an occasional operating reference. The pilot should study the entire handbook to become familiar with the limitations, performance, procedures and operational handling characteristics of the airplane before flight. The handbook has been divided into numbered sections, each provided with a tab divider for quick reference. The limitations and emergency procedures have been placed ahead of the normal procedures, performance and other sections, to provide easier access to information that may be required in flight. The Emergency Procedures section has been furnished with a red tab divider for instant reference. Provisions for expansion of the handbook have been made by the deliberate omission of certain paragraph numbers, figure numbers, item numbers and pages noted as intentionally left blank. In countries other than the United States of America, FAA operating rules may not apply. Operators must ensure that the aircraft is operated in accordance with national operating rules.

The Garmin GNSS navigation system in this aircraft is installed in accordance with AC 20-138D. When all the equipment is operative, the Garmin G1000 system has two independent GNSS long-range navigation systems. Failure of any of the above equipment or the posting of ‘BOTH ON GPS1’ or ‘BOTH ON GPS2’ annunciators indicate only one operational GNSS system. The Garmin G1000 Integrated Avionics GNSS navigation system as installed in this airplane complies with the requirements of AC 20-138D and has airworthiness approval for navigation using GPS and GPS/SBAS (within the coverage of a Satellite Based Augmentation System complying with ICAO Annex 10) for IFR en-route, terminal area, non-precision approach, and approach procedures with vertical guidance operations. The Garmin G1000 Integrated Avionics GNSS navigation system as installed in this airplane complies with the equipment, performance, and functional requirements established for the following navigation specifications.
