Important Notice
The Apollo handheld GPS receiver is intended for use as a
navigation aid. In aviation applications, the receiver should
be used to complement certified navigation instruments
already installed in the aircraft. This device is not
intended for use as a primary or sole source of
navigation information in aviation applications. Never
fly the aircraft without other available means of navigation.
For maximum safety and to minimize distraction in the
cockpit, place the receiver in an easily visible location,
within convenient view of other avionics.
This device emits a small amount of electromagnetic
energy. Do not place the receiver closer than 190mm
(approx. 7.5") to the wet compass in the cockpit.
Due to implementation of Selective Availability by the
United States Department of Defense, all GPS receivers
may suffer degradation of position accuracy by as much as
100 meters.
The following guidance has been issued by the FAA,
Seattle Aircraft Certification Office and Seattle Aircraft
Evaluation Group on December 12, 1994. It is relevant
