AFMS N°D03 FOR ALTERNATIVE AVIONICS CONFIGURATION
Section 4 – Normal procedures
IFR FLIGHT: G500 GROUND TRAINING PRE-REQUISITES
The necessity to correct or modify flight plans in the Garmin G500 under these
conditions may distract pilots from basic handling causing deviations from as-
signed parameters, so careful attention must be exercised to avoid deviations on
flying parameters.
It’s highly recommended to continue cross-checking flight parameters when en-
tering flight data into the G500, especially when trying to create / insert arrival
and departure procedures and / or VNAV profiles as the quantity of actions
needed is high and may distract pilots from basic and precise handling.
The following prescriptions, other than those already present in the G500 manu-
al, shall be observed:
- Use of GPS for precision approach navigation mode is not allowed.
- Use of GPS is prohibited as primary means for navigation. GPS is approved as sup-
plemental means for navigation;
- Use of GPS is prohibited for IFR in terminal area or in non-precision approach op-
erations;
If Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) function becomes una-
vailable in enroute phase of flight, position must be verified every 15 minutes
using other IFR approved navigation system.
Turbulence and / or Crosswind:
Presence of moderate to heavy turbulence and / or strong crosswind conditions (above
20 kts crosswind) will require high drift angle to correct for wind (above 15° drift) and
highly reduce spare capabilities to do other concurrent tasks inside the cockpit other
than precise flying.
