5. If the Garmin GWX 68 Weather Radar System is installed, it can be used to aid the
pilot in avoiding thunderstorms and associated turbulence or for ground mapping. The
GWX 68 shall be used to avoid severe weather and not for penetrating severe weather.
Pulse type weather radar systems like the GWX 68 detect precipitation only, not clouds
or turbulence. The display may indicate clear areas between intense returns, but this
does not necessarily mean it is safe to fly between them. As installed on the DA 42,
the Garmin GWX 68 has a demonstrated range of 160 nautical miles. Refer to Garmin
G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the DA 42, P/N 190-00649-04 in the latest effective issue for
further information.
