Introduction

Limitations

The Traffic function is not a collision avoidance system. It is an aid to visual acquisition and does not relieve
the flight crew of their responsibility to “see and avoid.” There are no evasive aircraft maneuvers authorized,
recommended, or provided for as a result of displayed traffic targets. Refer to the traffic sensor documentation
for additional information.
All pilots/operators are reminded that the airborne equipment that displays other ADS-B equipped aircraft
and transponder equipped aircraft via TIS-B is for pilot situational awareness and is not approved as a colli-
sion avoidance tool. Any deviation from an air traffic control clearance based on cockpit information must be
approved by the controlling ATC facility prior to commencing the maneuver. Uncoordinated deviations may
place an aircraft in close proximity to other aircraft under ATC control not seen on the airborne equipment and
may possibly result in the issuance of a pilot deviation.
The Terrain function shows you the general terrain elevations relative to your altitude and are advisory in
nature. Individual obstructions may be shown if available in the database. Terrain is displayed from database
information and may therefore contain errors. The Terrain function does not relieve the flight crew of their
responsibility to “see and avoid.” Do not use this information for navigation.
The moving map, weather information, and other displayed information are intended only as aids to situ-
ational awareness. The pilot should rely on the appropriate primary means of navigation and consult official
and approved data sources prior to and during each flight.
Refer to your airplane flight manual supplement for more information.
