NOTE
1 - FDE/RAIM availability worldwide can be determined using the
WFDE Prediction program, part number 006-A0154-01 or later
approved version with Garmin GA36 and GA37 antennas selected, or:
-
within the United States, using the FAA's en-route and terminal
RAIM prediction website: www.raimprediction.net, or by contacting
a Flight Service Station,
-
within Europe, using Europe's AUGUR GPS RAIM Prediction Tool
at http://augur.ecacnav.com/augur/app/home.
NOTE
2 - A
BOTH ON GPS1
or
BOTH ON GPS2
system annunciation does
not necessarily mean that one GPS has failed. Refer to the MFD – GPS
STATUS page to determine the state of the unused GPS.
General Considerations
The route planning and WFDE prediction program may be downloaded from the
Garmin website on the internet. For information on using the WFDE Prediction
Program, refer to Garmin WAAS FDE Prediction Program, part number
190-00643-01, `WFDE Prediction Program Instructions'.
Garmin International holds an FAA Type 2 Letter of Acceptance (LOA) in
accordance with RTCA/DO-200A and AC 20-153B for database integrity, quality,
and database management processes for many of its aviation databases. LOA
status and RTCA/DO-200A List of Applicable Avionics (190-01999-00) can be
viewed at FlyGarmin.com.
Navigation information is referenced to WGS-84 reference system, and should
only be used where the Aeronautical Information Publication (including electronic
data and aeronautical charts) conform to WGS-84 or equivalent.
GNSS (GPS/SBAS) Navigation System Limitations
Navigation database limitations
The pilot must confirm at system initialization that the Navigation database is
current.
If the AIRAC cycle will change during flight, the pilot must ensure the accuracy of
navigation data, including suitability of navigation facilities used to define the
routes and procedures for flight. If an amended chart affecting navigation data is
published for the procedure, the database must not be used to conduct the
procedure.
GPS/SBAS based IFR enroute, oceanic, and terminal navigation is prohibited
unless the pilot verifies and uses a valid, compatible, and current Navigation
database or verifies each waypoint for accuracy by reference to current approved
data.
