WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
Warnings, Cautions, & Notes
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
ii
WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated
upon the use of the terrain function. The GDU 620 Terrain Proximity feature
is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance
and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of
surroundings during flight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be used
as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applications
requiring a certified terrain awareness warning system. Terrain data is
obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently
verify the accuracy of the terrain data.
WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory
in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and
terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts
for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.
WARNING: The Garmin GDU 620 has a very high degree of functional
integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/
or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical.
Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur
without a fault indication shown by the GDU 620. It is thus the responsibility
of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with
all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit.
WARNING: The altitude calculated by GPS receivers is geometric height
above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude
displayed by pressure altimeters, such as the output from the GDC 74A/B
Air Data Computer, or other pressure altimeters in aircraft. GPS altitude
should never be used for vertical navigation. Always use pressure altitude
displayed by the GDU 620 PFD or other pressure altimeters in aircraft.
WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used
in the G500 or G600 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure
that the information remains current. Pilots using an outdated database
do so entirely at their own risk.
G500/600 Cockpit Reference Guide
190-00601-03 Rev G
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for
primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other
approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to
enhance situational awareness.
WARNING: Traffic information shown on the GDU 620 Multi-Function
Display is provided as an aid in visually acquiring traffic. Pilots must
maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or positive visual
acquisition of conflicting traffic.
WARNING: For safety reasons, GDU 620 operational procedures must be
learned on the ground.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and
understand all aspects of the G500/600 Pilot’s Guide. Thoroughly practice
basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully
compare indications from the G500/600 to all available navigation sources,
including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc.
For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing
navigation.
WARNING: Exceeding 200 deg/second in pitch or roll may invalidate AHRS
attitude provided to the GDU 620. Exceeding 450 KIAS may invalidate ADC
information provided to the GDU 620.
WARNING: Because of anomalies in the earth’s magnetic field, operating
the G500/600 within the following areas could result in loss of reliable
attitude and heading indications. North of 70° North latitude and south
of 70° South latitude. An area north of 65° North latitude and between
longitude 75° West and 120° West. An area north of 70° North latitude and
between longitude 85° East and 114° West. An area south of 55° South
latitude between longitude 120° East and 165° East.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to
determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link
weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing
weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by
the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated
weather product age.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
WARNING: Do not use Terrain-SVT information for primary terrain
avoidance. Terrain-SVT is intended only to enhance situational awareness.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
CAUTION: The United States government operates the Global Positioning
System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin GDU 620 utilize
GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with
all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GDU 620 can be misused or
misinterpreted and therefore, become unsafe.
CAUTION: The Garmin GDU 620 does not contain any user-serviceable
parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center.
Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and
pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
CAUTION: The GDU 620 PFD and MFD displays use a lens coated with a
special anti-reflective coating that is very sensitive to skin oils, waxes, and
abrasive cleaners. CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA WILL HARM THE
ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING. It is very important to clean the lens using a
clean, lint-free cloth and an eyeglass lens cleaner that is specified as safe
for anti-reflective coatings.
iv
NOTE: Do not rely solely upon data link services to provide Temporary Flight
Restriction (TFR) information. Always confirm TFR information through
official sources such as Flight Service Stations or Air Traffic Control.
NOTE: Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars
can cause an intermittent loss of attitude and heading displays while the
aircraft is on the ground. Moving the aircraft more than 100 feet away
from the source of the interference should alleviate the condition.
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including
screen images of the GDU 620 bezel and displays, are subject to change
and may not reflect the most current GDU 620 system. Depictions of
equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment.

PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY
This reference guide covers the operation of the GDU 620 as integrated in
the G500 and G600 Avionics Display Systems. The G500 and G600 Avionics
Display Systems are avionics suites that combine primary flight instrumentation,
navigational information, and a moving map all displayed on dual 6.5 inch
color screens. The G500 and G600 systems are composed of sub-units or Line
Replaceable Units (LRUs). LRUs have a modular design and can be installed
directly behind the instrument panel or in a separate avionics bay if desired.
This design greatly eases troubleshooting and maintenance of the G500 or
G600 system. A failure or problem can be isolated to a particular LRU, which
can be replaced quickly and easily. Each LRU has a particular function, or set
of functions, that contributes to the system’s operation. For more details on the
G500 and G600 systems, refer to the latest revision of the G500/600 Pilot’s Guide,
P/N 190-00601-02.

For altitude awareness, an Altitude Minimums Bug commonly referred to as
the Minimums Bug, can be set. the source of data for minimums alerting can be
selected to either barometric altitude or radar altitude (if installed.) When active
and within 2500 feet of the selected minimums altitude, the minimums bug
setting is displayed to the bottom left of the altimeter. When set, a bug appears
parked at the bottom of the altitude tape and moves up the tape as the set altitude
comes into view.
•When the aircraft altitude descends to within 2500 feet of the selected
altitude minimums setting, the minimums box appears with the altitude
value in cyan text. Once in range, the Minimums Bug appears in cyan

is moving purely with respect to your aircraft and give a forecast of where the traffic
target will be, relative to your aircraft, in the near future.
