Section 4. NORMAL PROCEDURES
Refer to the 5XXW Series unit Quick Reference Guide defined in paragraph 2.1
on page 7 of this document for normal operating procedures. This includes all
GPS operations, VHF COM and NAV, and Multi-Function Display information.
For information on TIS traffic, data linked weather, or TAWS see the Pilot’s
Guide addendum for optional displays. For information on active traffic device
or Stormscope operation and displays see the Pilot’s Guide addendum for
display interfaces.
The 5XXW Series unit requires a reasonable degree of familiarity to prevent
operations without becoming too engrossed at the expense of basic instrument
flying in IMC and basic see-and-avoid in VMC. Pilot workload will be higher
for pilots with limited familiarity in using the unit in an IFR environment,
particularly without the autopilot engaged. Garmin provides training tools with
the Pilot’s Guide and PC based simulator. Pilots should take full advantage of
these training tools to enhance system familiarization.
