The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States,
which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is
subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all
GPS equipment. Although the GPS 126/128 is a precision electronic
NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted
and, therefore, become unsafe.
Use the GPS 126/128 at your own risk
. To reduce the risk of unsafe
operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Operator’s
Manual and thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to
actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS
126/128 to all available navigation sources including the information from
other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, maps, etc. For safety, always resolve any dis-
crepancies before continuing navigation.
