WARNING
Transmission of data to the EFD1000/500 MFD XM WX Satellite Weather
VIEW will have some delay from real time to the EFD1000/500 MFD
display. Use the XM WX Satellite Weather VIEW and Stormscope® WX-500
VIEW displayed information for long-range planning purposes only, not
for short-range avoidance. Do not use the information provided on the
EFD1000/500 MFD to penetrate weather, thunderstorms, cells or lines of
cells. Always avoid severe weather as advised by both the FAA Advisory
Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Airman’s Information Manual
(AIM) “by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identied as severe or giving
an intense radar echo.”
WARNING
The XM WX service is not for “safety for life,” but is merely supplemental
and advisory in nature, and therefore cannot be relied upon as safety-
critical in connection with any aircraft or other usage. XM is not
responsible for accidents resulting from or associated with use of the XM
WX Service.
WARNING
The EFD1000/500 MFD navigation maps are not a replacement for
required charts and other navigation data required for ight.
WARNING
The EFD1000/500 MFD Trac VIEW provides trac information as an aid
to assist visually acquiring trac. Maneuver the aircraft based only upon
ATC guidance or positive visual acquisition of conicting trac.
WARNING
GPS receivers calculate altitude as the height above Mean Sea Level which
may have a signicant variation from actual altitude. GPS altitude should
never be used for vertical navigation; always use pressure altitude.
