Important Safety and Product Information Informations importantes sur le produit et la scurit Informazioni importanti sulla sicurezza e sul prodotto Wichtige Sicherheits- und Produktinformationen Informacin importante sobre el producto y tu seguridad Informaes Importantes de Segurana e do Produto 2 6 10 13 16 20 Important Safety and Product Information Refer to the applicable Pilots Guide and Installation Manual (available at www.garmin.com) for complete operating and installation procedures. The information provided in this document may not apply to all system configurations. It is the responsibility of the Pilot to consult the appropriate Pilots Guide in determining applicability of the safety information to their specific configuration. WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, & NOTES WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applications requiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data. WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes. WARNING: The altitude calculated by the GPS and GLONASS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk. WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilots responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions. WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age. 2 WARNING: Because of variation in the earths magnetic field, operating the system within the following areas could result in loss of reliable attitude and heading indi-
cations. North of 72 North latitude at all longitudes. South of 70 South latitude at all longitudes. North of 65 North latitude between longitude 75 W and 120 W. (Northern Canada). North of 70 North latitude between longitude 70 W and 128 W. (Northern Canada). North of 70 North latitude between longitude 85 E and 114 E. (Northern Russia). South of 55 South latitude between longitude 120 E and 165 E. (Region south of Australia and New Zealand). WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the applicable Pilots Guide documentation and the Pilots Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the system to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation. WARNING: The system has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the system. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit. WARNING: The government entities operating the satellite-based navigation systems (GNSS) are solely responsible for their accuracy and maintenance. The satellite-based navigation systems are subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GNSS equipment. Portions of the system utilize GNSS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. WARNING: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. WARNING: Do not rely solely on the navigation information presented on the 3D Vision Page. The navigation information displayed is derived from satellite data and may be different than the navigation information on the primary navigation instruments. WARNING: Never use this product to attempt to penetrate a thunderstorm. Both the FAA Advisory Circular, Subject: Thunderstorms, and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) recommend avoiding by at least 20 miles any thunderstorm identified as severe or giving an intense radar echo. WARNING: For safety reasons, operational procedures of the system must be learned on the ground. WARNING: This product is not an approved navigator for IFR procedures or flight, and should only be used to aid situational awareness in conjunction with installed, IFR certified navigation sources in the aircraft. 3 CAUTION: The display uses a lens coated with a special coating that is very sensitive to abrasive cleaners. AVOID CHEMICAL CLEANERS AND SOLVENTS THAT WILL HARM THE SPECIAL COATING. It is very important when cleaning the touchscreen to use a clean, lint-free cloth (lightly dampened with water, if necessary).

tme. Le Pilote doit consulter le Guide du pilote correspondant afin de dterminer dans quelle mesure les informations de scurit sappliquent sa configuration spcifique. AVERTISSEMENTS, MISES EN GARDE ET AVIS AVERTISSEMENT : la navigation et lespacement par rapport au terrain ne doivent PAS sappuyer sur la fonction de terrain. La fonction Proximit du terrain ne doit PAS tre utilise comme rfrence principale dvitement de terrain et le pilote doit rester en permanence attentif lenvironnement dans lequel il volue. La fonction Proximit du terrain doit tre utilise comme une simple assistance pour lvitement de terrain et son utilisation avec les applications exigeant un systme de reprage du terrain certifi nest pas garantie. Les donnes de terrain proviennent de sources appartenant des tiers. Garmin na pas les moyens de vrifier de manire indpendante lexactitude des donnes de terrain. AVERTISSEMENT : les altitudes minimales de scurit (MSA) affiches ont un caractre strictement indicatif et ne doivent jamais tre considres comme la source unique dinformations dvitement dobstacles et de terrain. Pour tablir des altitudes de scurit minimales exactes, utilisez toujours des cartes aronautiques jour. AVERTISSEMENT : laltitude GPS calcule par les rcepteurs GPS et GLONASS correspond la hauteur gomtrique au-dessus du niveau moyen de la mer et peut varier sensiblement de laltitude affiche par des altimtres bass sur la pression. AVERTISSEMENT : nutilisez pas les donnes du fond cartographique (relatives la terre et leau) pour la navigation principale. Les donnes du fond cartographique constituent uniquement une source complmentaire aux autres sources de donnes de navigation approuves et doivent tre considres comme une aide pour amliorer la visibilit globale de la situation. AVERTISSEMENT : les manuvres de prvention des collisions ne doivent pas se baser uniquement sur laffichage des informations sur le trafic. Cet affichage ne produit pas de communiqus dvitement des collisions et ne saurait dgager le pilote de ses responsabilits dobservation et dvitement des autres avions, quelles que soient les circonstances ou conditions de navigation. AVERTISSEMENT : laffichage des informations sur le trafic ne permet pas lui seul de reprsenter avec exactitude lensemble du trafic proximit de lavion. Labsence de certains quipements, une mauvaise rception du signal ou linexactitude des informations mises par des avions ou des stations au sol peuvent empcher laffichage lcran dinformations relatives des avions en vol. AVERTISSEMENT : nutilisez pas dinformations mtorologiques de liaison de donnes pour toutes manuvres lintrieur, proximit ou autour des zones prsentant des conditions mtorologiques dangereuses. Les informations prsentes dans les produits mto de liaison de donnes ne reprsentent pas forcment de manire prcise les conditions mtorologiques actuelles.

AVVERTENZE, AVVISI E NOTE AVVERTENZA: la navigazione e la separazione dal terreno NON devono basarsi sulluso della funzione Terreno. La funzione Prossimit terreno NON deve essere utilizzata come riferimento primario per evitare il terreno e non solleva il pilota dalla responsabilit di prestare attenzione allambiente circostante durante il volo. La funzione Prossimit terreno deve essere utilizzata esclusivamente come ausilio e non certificata per luso in applicazioni che richiedono un sistema certificato di rilevamento del terreno. I dati sul terreno sono forniti da terze parti. Garmin non in grado di verificare autonomamente la precisione dei dati sul terreno. AVVERTENZA: le quote minime di sicurezza (MSA) visualizzate fungono esclusivamente da rifermento generico e non devono essere utilizzate come unica fonte di informazioni per ostacoli o altri elementi del terreno da evitare. Consultare sempre le carte aeronautiche correnti per conoscere le quote minime di sicurezza. AVVERTENZA: la quota calcolata dai ricevitori GPS e GLONASS laltezza geometrica sopra il livello medio del mare e pu variare considerevolmente dalla quota visualizzata dagli altimetri di pressione. AVVERTENZA: non utilizzare informazioni di database obsoleti. I database utilizzati devono essere aggiornati regolarmente affinch lo siano anche le informazioni da essi fornite. I piloti che utilizzano database obsoleti effettuano tale operazione a proprio rischio e pericolo. 10 ATTENZIONE: non utilizzare le informazioni della mappa base (dati relativi al terreno e allacqua) come dati principali per la navigazione. I dati della mappa base fungono esclusivamente da supplemento ad altre fonti di dati di navigazione approvate e devono essere considerati come aiuto ad aumentare la consapevolezza della situazione. AVVERTENZA: per effettuare manovre anticollisione, non fare affidamento esclusivamente sulle informazioni sul traffico visualizzate. La schermata del traffico non fornisce avvisi anticollisione e in nessuna circostanza n condizione solleva il pilota dalla responsabilit di rilevare ed evitare altri velivoli. AVVERTENZA: non fare affidamento alla sola schermata delle informazioni sul traffico per delineare la situazione del traffico intorno al velivolo. In caso di strumenti mancanti, scarsa ricezione del segnale e/o informazioni imprecise dal velivolo o dalle stazioni di terra, possibile che il traffico presente non venga visualizzato sullo schermo. AVVERTENZA: non utilizzare informazioni meteo data link per le manovre in prossimit di condizioni meteo pericolose. Le informazioni contenute allinterno dei prodotti meteo data link potrebbero non rappresentare con precisione le condizioni meteo effettive. AVVERTENZA: non utilizzare la data indicata sul prodotto meteo data link per stabilire la data delle informazioni meteo mostrate sul prodotto meteo data link. A causa di ritardi dovuti alla raccolta e allelaborazione dei dati meteo per la trasmissione data link, le informazioni meteo mostrate dal prodotto meteo data link potrebbero essere notevolmente antecedenti alla data indicata dal prodotto meteo. AVVERTENZA: a causa della variazione del campo magnetico della Terra, il funzionamento del sistema allinterno delle seguenti aree potrebbe causare indicazioni di assetto e direzione imprecise. A nord di 72 di latitudine nord a tutte le longitudini. A sud di 70 di latitudine sud a tutte le longitudini. A nord di 65 di latitudine nord tra 75 W e 120 W di longitudine (Canada settentrionale).

WARNING: When installing the aera 760, place the unit so it does not obstruct the field of view or interfere with operating controls. WARNING: The indicators represented on the Panel are based on GPS-derived data and may differ from the instruments in the aircraft. WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The aera 760 Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applications requiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data. WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes. WARNING: The altitude calculated by the GPS and GLONASS receivers is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the aera 760 system must be updated regularly in order to ensure the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk. WARNING: Do not use data link weather information for maneuvering in, near, or around areas of hazardous weather. Information contained within data link weather products may not accurately depict current weather conditions. WARNING: Do not use the indicated data link weather product age to determine the age of the weather information shown by the data link weather product. Due to time delays inherent in gathering and processing weather data for data link transmission, the weather information shown by the data link weather product may be significantly older than the indicated weather product age. WARNING: To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the aera 760 Pilots Guide documentation and the Pilots Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare indications from the aera 760 to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation. WARNING: The Garmin aera 760 has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the aera 760. It is thus the responsibility of the pilot to detect such an occurrence by means of cross-checking with all redundant or correlated information available in the cockpit. WARNING: For safety reasons, aera 760 operational procedures must be learned on the ground. WARNING: The government entities operating the satellite-based navigation systems (GPS/GLONASS) are solely responsible for their accuracy and maintenance. The satellite-based navigation systems are subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS/GLONASS equipment. Portions of the system utilize GPS/GLONASS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the system can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. WARNING: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for col-
lision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not, under any circumstances or conditions, relieve the pilots responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. WARNING: This product is not an approved navigator for IFR procedures or flight, and should only be used to aid situational awareness in conjunction with installed, IFR certified navigation sources in the aircraft. CAUTION: The display uses a lens coated with a special coating that is very sensitive to abrasive cleaners. AVOID CHEMICAL CLEANERS AND SOLVENTS THAT WILL HARM THE SPECIAL COATING. It is very important when cleaning the touchscreen to use a clean, lint-free cloth (lightly dampened with water, if necessary). CAUTION: The Garmin aera 760 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized Garmin service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilots authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations. NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images of the aera 760 panel and displays, are subject to change and may not reflect the most current aera 760 system and aviation databases. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual equipment. NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This notice is being provided in accordance with Californias Proposition 65. For questions or additional information, please refer to our web site at www.garmin.com/prop65. NOTE: Use of polarized eyewear may cause the display to appear dim or blank. NOTE: Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA and may not be updated outside of normal business hours. Confirm data currency through alternate sources and contact the local FSS for interpretation of TFR data. NOTE: The navigation databases used in Garmin navigation systems contain Special Procedures. Prior to flying these procedures, pilots must have specific FAA authorization, training, and possession of the corresponding current, and legitimately-sourced chart (approach plate, etc.). Inclusion of the Special Procedure in the navigation database DOES NOT imply specific FAA authorization to fly the procedure.

The unit can be used while it is charging. Charge the unit within the following temperature range: 41 to 95F (5 to 35C). INITIAL BATTERY CHARGING After fully charging the battery for the first time, the aera 760 battery indicator may report significantly less than full charge. In this case, the battery will need to be conditioned to report the correct capacity. This can be accomplished by allowing the battery to discharge completely and then fully recharging the battery. USING CHARGE MODE Applying external power to the aera 760 automatically turns on the unit for full operation. If the battery needs to be charged, the external power source charges the battery while the unit is in use. 2 If you do not want to use the unit, but you would like to charge the battery, you can put the unit into Charge Mode. Connect the unit to an external power supply. Press and hold the POWER Button. Instead of completely turning off, the unit now goes into Charge Mode. The unit will run cooler and may allow more current to be available for charging the battery while in Charge Mode. MOUNTING THE aera 760 IN THE AIRCRAFT Refer to Appendix D 'Installation & Interfacing' for information on mounting the aera 760 in the aircraft. TURNING THE UNIT ON/OFF NOTE: The unit will turn off automatically after five minutes if on battery power and the Initialization Page is not acknowledged. Press the POWER Button to turn the unit on. Press and hold the POWER Button to turn the unit off. The first time the unit is turned on, the receiver must collect satellite data and establish its present location. To ensure proper initialization, the aera 760 is shipped from the factory in Autolocate mode, which allows the receiver to find itself anywhere in the world. During initialization, current database information is displayed. Database information includes valid operating dates, cycle number, and database type. When this information has been reviewed for currency (to ensure that no databases have expired), the pilot is prompted to continue. Touching the Press To Accept Button acknowledges this information, and the Main Menu is displayed. 3 Database Initialization RECEIVER STATUS The receiver status displays one of the following conditions:
AutolocateReceiver is looking for any satellite whose almanac has been collected, which can take up to 5 minutes Searching The SkyReceiver is looking for satellites Acquiring SatellitesReceiver is looking for and collecting data from satellites visible at its last known or initialized location, but has not acquired a fix 2D GPS LocationAt least three satellites have been acquired and a two-
dimensional location fix has been calculated. 2D Differential appears when you are receiving DGPS corrections in 2D mode 3D GPS LocationAt least four satellites have been acquired and a three-
dimensional fix has been calculated. 3D Differential appears when you are receiving DGPS corrections in 3D mode Lost Satellite ReceptionReceiver is no longer tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fix 4 Constellation Diagram PRN Number 45 Above Horizon Horizon Receiver Status Signal Strength Bar PRN Number GPS Status Viewing the GPS status:
From the Main Menu, touch Tools >GPS Info > GPS Tab. ACQUIRING SATELLITES The bars on the Main Menu indicate the GPS signal strength. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring enough satellite signals for navigation, the receiver uses satellite orbital data (collected continuously from the satellites) and last known position to determine the satellites that should be in view. Acquiring Satellites is indicated as the solution until a sufficient number of satellites have been acquired for computing a solution. When the receiver is in the process of acquiring a 3D differential solution, 3D GPS Location is indicated as the solution until the 3D differential fix has finished acquisition. SATELLITE INFORMATION Satellites currently in view are shown at their respective positions on a satellite constellation diagram. The outer circle of the constellation diagram represents the horizon, the inner circle represents 45 above the horizon, and the center point shows the position directly overhead. Each satellite is represented by a square containing the Pseudo-Random Noise (PRN) number (i.e., satellite identification number). 5 GPS Info can be helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels due to poor satellite coverage or installation problems. As the receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar is displayed for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite PRN number (01-32; 33-64 for WAAS; 65-99 for GLONASS) below each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages, as indicated by signal bar appearance:
- No barReceiver is looking for the indicated satellite
- Gray barReceiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite signal can be used
- Green barSatellite is being used for the GPS solution DISPLAY ORIENTATION The aera 760 can be viewed in either Portrait or Landscape Mode. Changing the display orientation:

The Navigation Map can be oriented three different ways: North Up (NORTH UP), Track Up (TRK UP) or Desired Track Up (DTK UP). An aircraft icon is placed on the Navigation Map at the location corresponding to the calculated present position. The aircraft position and the flight plan legs are accurately based on GPS/GLONASS calculations. The basemap upon which these are placed are from a source with less resolution, therefore the relative position of the aircraft to map features is not exact. The leg of the active flight plan currently being flown is shown as a magenta line on the Navigation Map. The other legs are shown in white. Inactive Leg

WARNING: Use appropriate systems for navigation, and for terrain, obstacle, and traffic avoidance. 3D Vision does not provide either the accuracy or reliability upon which to base decisions and/or plan maneuvers to avoid terrain, obstacles, or traffic. 3D Vision is a visual enhancement to the aera 760. 3D Vision depicts the topography as seen from outside the aircraft. The depicted imagery is derived from the aircraft's three-dimensional position, and databases of terrain, obstacles, and other relevant features. Loss of the GPS signal, will cause 3D Vision to be disabled until it is restored. The 3D Vision terrain display shows land contours (colors are consistent with those of the topographical map display), large water features, towers, and other obstacles over 200 AGL that are included in the obstacle database (if present). Cultural features on the ground such as roads, highways, railroad tracks, cities, and state boundaries are not displayed even if those features are found on the Navigation Map. The terrain display also includes a north-south east-west grid with lines oriented with true north. Terrain is integrated within 3D Vision to provide visual and auditory alerts to indicate the presence of terrain and obstacle threats relevant to the projected flight path. Terrain alerts are displayed in red and yellow shading. 3D Vision does not provide the accuracy or fidelity on which to base decisions and plan maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles. Navigation should not be predicated upon the use of the terrain or obstacle data displayed by 3D Vision.

1) From the Main Menu, touch 3D Vision > Menu. 2) Touch a 'Bearing Pointer' Data Option Button, and touch the desired option from the list (Off, GPS, or Nearest Airport). 3D Vision Menu HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (HSI) The graphic HSI displays current course, course (or crosstrack) error, To/From indication, course pointer, bearing desired track, and course deviation indicator/scale only when navigation is active (flight plan or direct-to); current ground track is always displayed. The rotating compass indicates the aircraft's current ground track. The course pointer and course deviation needle indicate the current course and how closely the aircraft is following it. The Bug Indicator can be set to Bearing, Desired Track, a specific heading reference (User Selected), or Off (default). 43 Bearing is the compass direction from the present position to a destination waypoint. Desired Track is the recommended direction to steer in order to reduce cross-track error and return to the course line. The Course Deviation Indicator, or needle, indicates the aircrafts distance off course, left or right, based on its placement along the course deviation scale. Manually selecting 0.25 nm, 1.25 nm, or 5.00 nm full-scale deflection overrides Auto CDI selection. The manually-selected CDI scale setting remains active until conditions are met for Auto CDI (below), at which time Auto CDI resumes. The active course deviation scale (either automatically- or manually-selected) displays on the upper right portion of the HSI. The default CDI scale setting is Auto CDI (not user-selectable), which is selected when applying power to the system. Auto CDI uses three factors to determine the distance from the center of the CDI to full left or right limits:
CDI scale = 1.25 - within 30 nm of any airport in the active route. CDI scale = 0.25 - on an approach leg or within 2 nm of the FAF or MAP. CDI scale = 5.0 - if the previous two conditions are not met. changIng the cDI Scale Changing the CDI scale:
1) From the Main Menu, touch 3D Vision > Menu > More Options. 2) Touch the 'CDI Scale' Data Option Button, and touch the desired option from the list (0.25 nm, 1.25 nm, or 5.00 nm).

tions. The VNAV function provides settings for the vertical navigation. These settings create a three-dimensional profile from the present location and altitude to a final (target) altitude at a specified location. When the VNAV profile is defined, the pilot is informed of the progress by message alerts. The teal bar on the HSI (when displayed) shows the VNAV profile. The Vertical Navigation feature is only available when navigating a Direct To or flight plan, and the ground speed is greater than 35 knots. The VNAV indicator is displayed and the 'Estimated Time to VNAV' (VNAV TIME) field goes blank one minute prior to the initial descent point; if the VNAV alert messages are enabled, the 'Approaching VNAV profile' message appears. The 'Approaching VNAV profile' message appears one minute prior to the initial descent point. The descent angle locks to prevent changes in speed from altering the profile. The VNAV feature does not take into account any changes in groundspeed that occur during the transition from level flight to descent or climb. At 500 ft above the target altitude, the VNAV indicator disappears from the altimeter;
if the VNAV alert messages are enabled, the 'Approaching VNAV target altitude'
message is displayed. CAUTION: The aera 760 is a VFR navigation tool and should not be used to perform instrument approaches. CAUTION: VNAV is only a VFR navigation aid and is not intended for instrument approaches. 46 V N A V P r o fil e Distance to Profile Glide Ratio to Target Target Altitude Distance to Target Airport Visual Representation of VNAV USING THE VNAV FEATURE Use the VNAV (Vertical Navigation) feature to ensure the aircraft is at the proper altitude. When the appropriate conditions for VNAV are met, the VNAV Indicator displays as a teal pointer next to the altimeter. When the VNAV alert messages are enabled, a message appears when approaching the VNAV Profile. When the teal pointer is in the vertical center of the altimeter, the aircraft is at the proper altitude for the VNAV Profile.

Airways are eight nautical miles wide and start 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) and extend up to but not including 18,000 feet mean sea level (MSL). Low Altitude Airways are designated with a V before the airway number (hence the name Victor Airways) since they run primarily between VORs. 50 High Altitude Airways (or Jet Routes) primarily serve airliners, jets, turboprops, and turbocharged piston aircraft operating above 18,000 feet MSL. Jet Routes start at 18,000 feet MSL and extend upward to 45,000 feet MSL (altitudes above 18,000 feet are called flight levels and are described as FL450 for 45,000 feet MSL). Jet Routes are designated with a J before the route number. Low Altitude Airways are drawn in gray. High Altitude Airways are drawn in green. When both types of airways are displayed, high altitude airways are drawn on top of Low Altitude Airways. When airways are selected for display on the map, the airway waypoints (VORs, NDBs and Intersections) are also displayed. Displaying/removing airways:

The flight plan is displayed on maps using different line widths, colors, and types, based on the type of leg and the segment of the flight plan currently being flown. Up to 50 flight plans with up to 300 waypoints each can be created and stored in memory. One flight plan can be activated at a time and becomes the active flight plan. The active flight plan is erased when the destination is reached and the system is turned off. When storing flight plans with an approach, the aera 760 uses the waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the aera 760 automatically updates the information if the procedure has not been modified. If an approach is no longer available, the procedure is deleted from the affected stored flight plan(s), and an alert is displayed. DATA FIELDS The Active and Saved Flight Plan Data Fields can be changed by touching the Data Field Buttons at the top of the flight plan.

NEXRAD data provides centralized meteorological information for the continental United States and selected overseas locations. The maximum range of a single NEXRAD radar site is 250 nm. In addition to a wide array of services, the NEXRAD network provides important information about severe weather and air traffic safety. NEXRAD data is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection, processing, and dissemination of NEXRAD images can be significant and may not reflect the current radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only. Never use NEXRAD data or any radar data to maneuver in or near areas of hazardous weather. Rather, use it in an early-
warning capacity of pre-departure and enroute evaluation. Data from all the NEXRAD radar sites in the United States is shown. This data represents the base reflectivity from the individual radar sweeps. The display of the information is color-coded to indicate the weather severity level. The display of radar coverage is always active when NEXRAD is selected. Areas where NEXRAD radar coverage is not currently available or is not being collected are indicated in grayish-purple. Radar capability exists in these areas, but it is not active or is off-line. 100 There are possible abnormalities regarding displayed NEXRAD images. Some, but Radar Abnormalities not all, of those include:
Ground clutter Strobes and spurious radar data Sun strobes, when the radar antenna points directly at the sun Military aircraft deploy metallic dust (chaff) which can cause alterations in radar scans Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows Radar Limitations listed for the users awareness:
Certain limitations exist regarding the NEXRAD radar displays. Some, but not all, are NEXRAD does not provide sufficient information to determine cloud layers or precipitation characteristics (hail vs. rain). For example, it is not possible to distinguish between wet snow, wet hail, and rain. NEXRAD base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An individual NEXRAD site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges, and has no information about storms directly over the site. The composite reflectivity is the maximum dBZ reflectivity from any of the reflectivity angles of the NEXRAD weather radar. (CONUS area only) Radar Intensity Colors are used to identify the different NEXRAD echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z). Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The dBZ values increase as returned signal strength increases. Precipitation intensity is displayed using colors corresponding to the dBZ values. 101 RADAR Legend Radar Data clouD topS Satellite observation of clouds is represented as temperature data, where colder tops are typically found at higher altitudes. This temperature data is transformed into cloud top height contours, indicating the height of the cloud top in 5,000 foot increments. RADAR Legend Cloud Tops Data echo topS Echo Tops are derived from NEXRAD radar and indicate the highest altitude at which precipitation is falling. Echo Tops at or above the altitude you select are displayed, in 5,000 foot increments up to 70,000 ft. Echo Tops can be helpful in determining the severity of thunderstorms. Echo Tops Data Echo Tops Altitudes 102 wInDS aloft at selected altitudes.

FIS-B WEATHER PRODUCTS FIS-B weather broadcasts are updated regularly and may take approximately ten minutes to transmit all available weather data. Therefore, weather data is not immediately available. No pilot action is required to receive FIS-B weather information. Weather product status can be viewed on the dedicated Weather Page,or the Data Link Page from the Tools menu. When a FIS-B weather product is active on a map, the age of the data is displayed on the screen in the lower left corner. The age of the product is based on the time difference between when the data was assembled on the ground and the current GPS time. Weather products are broadcast at specific intervals (see broadcast interval in the table below). If, for any reason, a weather product is not refreshed within the Expiration Time intervals (see table), the data is considered expired and is removed from the display. This ensures that only data that is consistent with FIS-B broadcast data is displayed. If more than half of the expiration time has elapsed, the color of the product age displayed changes to yellow. The system displays dashes instead of a product age when a product has expired. The table below shows the FIS-B weather expiration time and the broadcast interval. The broadcast interval represents the interval at which FIS-B GBTs broadcast new signals that may or may not contain new weather data. It does not represent the rate at which weather data is updated or new content is received by the compatible device. 113 FIS-B Products Expiration Update Interval Time

NEXRAD data provides centralized meteorological information for the continental United States and selected overseas locations. The maximum range of a single NEXRAD radar site is 250 nm. In addition to a wide array of services, the NEXRAD network provides important information about severe weather and air traffic safety. NEXRAD data is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection, processing, and dissemination of NEXRAD images can be significant and may not reflect the current radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only. Never use NEXRAD data or any radar data to maneuver in or near areas of hazardous weather. Composite data from all the NEXRAD radar sites in the United States is shown. This data is composed of the maximum reflectivity from the individual radar sweeps. The display of the information is color-coded to indicate the weather severity level. The display of radar coverage is always active when NEXRAD is selected. Areas where NEXRAD radar coverage is not currently available or is not being collected are indicated in grayish-purple on the NEXRAD weather page. Radar capability exists in these areas, but it is not active or is off-line. Radar Abnormalities not all, of those include:
There are possible abnormalities regarding displayed NEXRAD images. Some, but Ground clutter Strobes and spurious radar data Sun strobes, when the radar antenna points directly at the sun Military aircraft deploy metallic dust (chaff) which can cause alterations in radar scans Interference from buildings or mountains, which may cause shadows Poor reception from Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs) can cause portions of the received radar imagery to not be displayed 115 Radar Limitations listed for the users awareness:
Certain limitations exist regarding the NEXRAD radar displays. Some, but not all, are NEXRAD base reflectivity does not provide sufficient information to determine cloud layers or precipitation characteristics (hail vs. rain). For example, it is not possible to distinguish between wet snow, wet hail, and rain. NEXRAD base reflectivity is sampled at the minimum antenna elevation angle. An individual NEXRAD site cannot depict high altitude storms at close ranges, and has no information about storms directly over the site. Radar Intensity Colors are used to identify the different NEXRAD echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z). Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The dBZ values increase as returned signal strength increases. Precipitation intensity is displayed using colors corresponding to the dBZ values. RADAR Legend NEXRAD Data Radar Products FIS-B weather provides two different Radar products, CONUS and Regional. The system can display each individually or a composite (COMBINED). When Regional Radar is displayed, only precipitation for the current region is displayed. The subdued

It is combined into a mosaic for easier display and analysis. 125 The radar data displayed is not real-time. The lapsed time between collection, processing, and dissemination of radar images can be significant and may not reflect the current radar synopsis. Due to the inherent delays and the relative age of the data, it should be used for long-range planning purposes only. Never use radar data to penetrate hazardous weather. Rather, use it in an early-warning capacity for pre-
departure evaluation. Composite data from radar sites in the United States is shown. This data is composed of the maximum reflectivity from the individual radar sweeps at different tilt angles of the radar beam with respect to the ground. The display of the information is color-coded to indicate the weather severity level. Colors are used to identify the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels or Z).

Terrain information is intended only to enhance situational awareness. NOTE: Terrain depicted in the Profile View is always ahead of the aircraft, and will change as ground track changes. The Terrain function displays altitudes of terrain and obstructions relative to the aircraft position and altitude with reference to a database that may contain inaccuracies. Terrain and obstructions are shown only if they are in the database. Terrain and obstacle information should be used as an aid to situational awareness. They should never be used to navigate or maneuver around terrain. Note that all obstructions may not be available in the terrain and obstacle database. No terrain and obstacle information is shown without a valid 3-D GPS position. 129 The aera 760 GPS receiver provides the horizontal position and altitude of the aircraft. Aircraft GPS altitude is derived from satellite position. GPS altitude is then converted to a mean sea level (MSL)-based altitude (GPS-MSL altitude) and is used to determine terrain and obstacle proximity. GPS-MSL altitude accuracy is affected by satellite geometry, but is not subject to variations in pressure and temperature that normally affect pressure altitude sensors. GPS-MSL altitude does not require local altimeter settings to determine MSL altitude. It is a widely-used MSL altitude source. Terrain and obstacle databases are referenced to MSL. Using the GPS position and altitude, the Terrain feature portrays a 2-D picture of the surrounding terrain and obstacles relative to the position and altitude of the aircraft. GPS position and GPS-
MSL altitude are used to calculate and predict the aircrafts flight path in relation to the surrounding terrain and obstacles. In this way, the pilot can view predicted dangerous terrain and obstacle conditions. Alert windows appear to inform the pilot of proximity to the terrain and obstacles, as well as an unsafe descent rate. These alerts depend on user-defined parameters in the Terrain Setup. TERRAIN INFORMATION Two views are displayed by the Terrain function: the Map View, and the Profile View. The areas of the terrain shaded red are predicted to be within 100 feet below or above the aircraft. The yellow terrain areas are between the user-defined Caution Elevation and 100 feet below the aircraft. By default, the Caution Elevation is 1,000 feet; therefore, the areas in yellow are between 1,000 feet and 100 feet below the aircraft. The black areas are further than the Caution Elevation. A projected point of impact is marked with an X symbol. OBSTACLE INFORMATION Obstacles are shown on the Terrain Map View, at or below the map range of 12 nm. Obstacles are also shown on the Navigation Map when the map range is set to 5 nm or below. Standard aeronautical chart symbols are used for lighted or unlighted obstacles taller than 200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). Refer to the Obstacle Icons legend below. 130 When selecting an obstacle with the Map Pointer, each obstacle displays the altitude at the top of the obstacle, or Mean Sea Level (MSL).

Altitude trend is shown as an up arrow (>+500 ft/min), down arrow (<-500 ft/min), or no symbol if less than 500 ft/min rate in either direction. 135 TIS-A Symbol Description Traffic Advisory (TA) Other Traffic TIS-A Traffic Symbols TIS-A ALERTS A TIS-A audio alert is generated whenever the number of Traffic Advisories on the aera 760 screen increases from one scan to the next. Limiting Traffic Advisories only reduces the nuisance alerting due to proximate aircraft. For example, when the first Traffic Advisories appear on the TIS-A display, the user is alerted audibly. So long as a single aircraft remains on the TIS-A display, no further audio alert is generated. If a second (or more) aircraft appears on the screen, a new audio alert is sounded. If the number of Traffic Advisories on the TIS-A display decreases and then increases, a new audio alert is sounded. The "Traffic" audio alert is also generated whenever TIS-A service becomes available. The following TIS-A audio alerts are generated:

Traffic Range and Altitude Separation using Map Pointer Traffic Ground Track TIS-A (Navigation Map) 137 DATA LINK TRAFFIC ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) is a surveillance technology deployed across the United States as the cornerstone of the FAAs Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). ADS-B enables improved surveillance services, both air-to-air and air-to-ground, especially in areas where radar is ineffective due to terrain or where it is impractical or cost prohibitive. Initial applications of air-to-air ADS-B are for advisory use only, enhancing a pilots visual acquisition of other nearby ADS-B equipped aircraft either when airborne or on the airport surface. 1090 ES UAT RADAR Composite 1090 ES Mode A/C UAT UAT RADAR UAT ATC 1090 ES ADS-B Ground Station ADS-B System For the purpose of distinguishing between levels of ADS-B service, there are three classifications of aircraft or system capability; ADS-B In, ADS-B Out, and ADS-B participating. ADS-B In refers to the capability to receive ADS-B information. ADS-B Out refers to the capability to transmit ADS-B information. ADS-B participating refers to the capability to both send and receive ADS-B information. Aircraft lacking either ADS-In, ADS-B Out, or both ADS-B capabilities may also be referred to as ADS-B non-
participating aircraft. GPS 18,000 FT 10,000 FT 138 Currently, rule-compliant ADS-B Out capability in the United States requires a TSOed SBAS-enabled GPS, such as a Garmin GPS 400W or similar, and one of two possible data links: 1090 ES transponder or a 978 MHz UAT. Either data link system is capable of transmitting the aircrafts position, velocity, identification, and other information every second to compatible aircraft and ground stations called Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs). Because 1090 ES transponders and UATs operate on different frequencies, aircraft not similarly equipped cannot transmit/receive data link information directly to/from each other. Instead, operation within range of a GBT is required to receive data link information on both frequencies. Thus, the compatible device receives traffic information directly from any ADS-B Out aircraft within range as well as the rebroadcast of ADS-B information from any nearby GBT. This rebroadcast is called Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Rebroadcast
(ADS-R) and is automatically triggered by the detection of an ADS-B participating aircraft within the service volume of the GBT. The compatible device can receive both the Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) and Flight Information Service-
Broadcast (FIS-B) provided in conjunction with ADS-R services when in range of a GBT. FIS-B service is provided continuously, but ADS-R including TIS-B will only be broadcast by a GBT when an ADS-B participating aircraft is within the GBTs defined service volume. In this case, a GBT will only rebroadcast TIS-B information relative to the ADS-B participating aircraft. Only traffic that is within 15 nm lateral and 3,500 vertical of the ADS-B participating aircraft is provided in the broadcast. Non-participating traffic aircraft located farther than 15 nm laterally and 3,500 vertically from the participating aircraft is are excluded from the information transmitted by the GBT. TIS-B traffic information includes non-participating aircraft detected by ATC surveillance radar. As TIS-B data is derived from ATC surveillance radar data, TIS-B traffic position updates typically occur every three to thirteen seconds. Therefore, TIS-B traffic may be displayed with degraded positional accuracy. Aircraft without operating transponders are invisible to TIS-B. Aircraft operating outside of the ATC radar coverage area are also not displayed. 139 Since the compatible devices are receive-only, even when used onboard an aircraft equipped with a qualifying GPS and 1090 ES transponder, a GBT may not identify it as an ADS-B participating aircraft. The squitter of some 1090 ES transponders, including the Garmin GTX 23ES, must be configured to communicate the aircraft has 978 MHz receive capability in order to be identified as an ADS-B participating aircraft. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not under any circumstances or conditions relieve the pilots responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. Viewing Traffic Status:
1) From the Main Menu, touch Tools. 2) Touch Data Link. 140 SYSTEM STATUS The traffic system status is annunciated in the upper right corner of the Map Page, as well as the bottom of the dedicated Traffic Page. Traffic Icon System Status Full traffic services available for an ADS-B participating aircraft
(ground linked TIS-B, FIS-B and ADS-R, and Air-to-Air ADS-B). If using a compatible device on a non-participating aircraft, this traffic icon may still be visible when within the service area of any participating aircraft. As a non-participating aircraft the compatible device is only receiving TIS-B traffic information for traffic within 15 nm and 3,500 of the participating aircraft. Limited traffic services available (may be limited to Air-to-Air ADS-B) No Traffic Data Available Traffic Modes Some compatible devices also have a pressure altitude sensor to aid in displaying the relative altitude of received traffic information. If the compatible device is used onboard a pressurized aircraft, the pressure altitude sensor should be turned off. Configuring a compatible ADS-B device for Pressurized or Non-
Pressurized Aircraft:
1) From the Main Menu, touch Tools > Data Link 2) Touch Menu > Device Specific Set Up. 3) Touch Pressurized or Not Pressurized. 141 TRAFFIC DESCRIPTION ADS-B traffic operation is similar to TIS-A discussed previously, but ADS-B adds additional symbology and capabilities. The symbols used to display ADS-B traffic are shown in the table below. The traffic label and altitude are displayed below the traffic symbol. A small up or down arrow next to the traffic symbol indicates the traffic is climbing or descending at a rate of at least 500 feet per minute. The vector line that extends from the traffic symbol is just further indication of the intruder aircraft track. For directional traffic symbols, the arrow head points in the direction of aircraft's ground track. traffIc aDvISorIeS (ta) TAs are issued for traffic when they are predicted to be within a specified volume of airspace around the aircraft in a specified amount of time. The protected volume and time interval varies based on the current geodetic altitude and groundspeed. Thus, the protected volume of airspace increases with altitude and ground speed. Refer to the following table for details. Altitude

ADS-B Traffic Symbology TRAFFIC ALERTS (ADS-B TIS-B) A traffic audio alert is generated whenever the number of Traffic Advisories on the aera 760 display increases. Limiting Traffic Advisories only reduces the nuisance alerting due to proximate aircraft. For example, when the first Traffic Advisories appear on the display, the user is alerted audibly. So long as a single aircraft remains on the display, no further audio alert is generated. If additional aircraft appear on the screen, a new audio alert is sounded. Traffic Advisories can only be issued when the compatible device knows its own altitude and the altitude of the intruder aircraft. CAUTION: Traffic Advisories can only be issued when the compatible device knows its own altitude and the altitude of the intruder aircraft. 143 If the number of Traffic Advisories on the traffic display decreases and then increases, a new audio alert is sounded. The traffic audio alert is also generated whenever TIS-B service becomes available. The following traffic audio alerts are available:

WARNING: If the Aircraft Identification is NOT shown with a traffic symbol, the Relative Altitude is operating in a reduced accuracy mode. The Relative Altitude value displayed may differ from the actual Relative Altitude by several hundred feet. In all cases, the pilot must make visual contact when maneuvering to avoid traffic. MOTION VECTORS There are two pilot-selectable and mutually exclusive types of motion vectors, Absolute and TargetTrend, which are differentiated by color and function. Absolute vectors are white and indicate ground track as reported by the traffic. TargetTrend vectors are green and indicate the flight path and position, relative to the ownship, at which the traffic will be after the passing of one of four predetermined time intervals. The end of the TargetTrend vector indicates the traffic's predicted location relative to the predicted ownship location at the end of the look-ahead time. For example, if traffic is ahead of the ownship and traveling along the same track but at a slower rate. The motion vector would point opposite of its indicated direction of flight showing the ownship is overtaking the traffic. 147 Traffic Display Range TargetTrend Look-ahead Time Traffic's Predicted Relative Location in 5 minutes TargetTrend The TargetTrend look-ahead time interval is automatically adjusted from 30 seconds to five minutes and corresponds to the traffic display range setting.

NOTE: Do not use SafeTaxi or Chartview functions as the basis for ground maneuvering. SafeTaxi and Chartview do not comply with the requirements of AC 120-76C and are not qualified to be used as an airport moving map display
(AMMD). SafeTaxi and Chartview should only be used by the flight crew to orient themselves on the airport surface. The Chart Tab on the Waypoint Page will default to the nearest airport if no flight plan or destination airport is present. While you are on the ground, the displayed charts will default to the current airport location regardless of flight plan. The optional ChartView and FliteCharts provide on-board electronic terminal procedures charts. Electronic charts offer the convenience of rapid access to essential information. Either ChartView or FliteCharts may be configured, but not both. ChartView resembles the paper version of Jeppesen terminal procedures charts.

If a MicroSD Card is installed and an error message is displayed indicating the card is not formatted for FAT32, one of two issues have occurred:
The card is not formatted for FAT32. Reformat using a computer and specify the FAT32 format. The card is formatted for FAT32, but the partitioning is not acceptable for use in the aera 760. Should this be the issue, a different MicroSD Card must be used. It is generally only older and smaller MicroSD Cards which will have unacceptable partitioning. INSTALLING AND REMOVING MicroSD CARDS Install the MicroSD Card in the slot located on the left side of the unit. Only remove the MicroSD Card when the unit is OFF. You can load a variety of information to the aera 760 internal memory or MicroSD Card, such as MapSource detailed maps in a MapSource program. 173 MicroSD Slot MicroSD Card Slot Installing a MicroSD Card:
1) Firmly push the card into the unit. It is not necessary to force the card. The handle is still exposed when it is properly inserted. 2) The unit takes a few seconds to read the card. When the data card has been properly installed and accepted, a summary screen noting the card details appears. Touch to acknowledge. Removing an MicroSD Card:
1) With the unit turned 'OFF', push the card into the unit until it stops. 2) Release the card. The card should eject for easy removal. 3) With the card ejected, pull the card out of the slot. DATABASE TYPES The basemap database contains data for the topography and land features, such as rivers, lakes, and towns. It is updated only periodically, with no set schedule. There is no expiration date. The terrain database contains the terrain mapping data. The database is updated periodically and has no expiration date. The obstacle database contains data for obstacles, such as towers, that pose a potential hazard to aircraft. Obstacles 200 feet and higher are included in the obstacle database. It is very important to note that not all obstacles are necessarily charted and therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle and does not expire. 174 NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. The Safe Taxi database contains detailed airport diagrams for selected airports. These diagrams aid in following ground control instructions by accurately displaying the aircraft position on the map in relation to taxiways, ramps, runways, terminals, and services. This database is updated on a 56-day cycle and does not expire. GARMIN AVIATION DATABASES The Garmin database updates can be obtained via Wi-Fi or by visiting the flyGarmin website (www.flygarmin.com). After the databases have been updated, check the appropriate databases are initialized and displayed on the start-up screen after applying power. AIRPORT DIRECTORY DATABASES The AOPA Airport Directory provides data on airports and heliports throughout the U.S. and it is updated on a 56-day cycle. Detailed information for over 5,300 U.S. airports, along with the names and phone numbers of thousands of FBOs can be viewed. This service allows the pilot to plan an overnight, choose fuel stops, find ground transportation, etc. Optional airport directory databases such as AC-U-KWIK are also supported. AC-
U-KWIK provides complete listings of FBOs, charter companies, fuel suppliers, ground transportation, maintenance and catering services at public airports across the world. NAVIGATION DATABASE The aera 760 includes an internal navigation database that provides location and facility information for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs, and more. There are two navigation database products available: the Garmin Navigation database containing coverage for North America (expanded coverage is planned for the future), and the Jeppesen Navigation database containing coverage for the world, available in regionalized options. Database purchases are available online (www.fly.garmin. com). However, once the databases are purchased, the ability to download and install databases is available from the aera 760 via Wi-Fi. 175 NOTE: Although the Garmin and Jeppesen Navigation Databases contain much of the same information, pilots may notice differences in behavior, nearest list functionality, airspace display, and map page display details due to data content variations. The following information is provided from the internal navigation database:
*Airportidentifier, facility name, city/state/country, latitude/longitude, field elevation, available fuel types, runway designations and layout, runway surface, runway length, runway width, runway lighting, communication frequencies, and published approaches. Weatherfrequencies associated with an airport (ASOS, ATIS, and AWOS).
*VORsidentifier, facility name, city/state/country, location (latitude/longitude), frequency, service volume (high, low, terminal), and type (such as VOR-DME, TACAN, and VORTAC).
*NDBsidentifier, facility name, city/state/country, location (latitude/longitude), and frequency. Intersectionsidentifier, nearest VOR, radial and distance from nearest VOR, location (latitude/longitude), and region/country. ARTCCAir Route Traffic Control Centers. Airspaceboundaries (Class B, Class C, Control Zones, SUAs, and MOAs), controlling agency, and vertical boundaries. FSSFlight Service Stations.
* Symbology used for NDBs, VORs, and airports is consistent with those used on a sectional chart. NOTE: After performing a navigation database update, verify all flight plan(s)
(routes) are current. If there is an obsolete aviation point in a saved route, the route is locked and unusable. A new route with current navigation database points will need to be created. 176 DATABASE PURCHASE, INSTALLATION, AND UPDATES Database purchases are available online (www.flygarmin.com).

To maximize the lifetime of the battery, do not leave the aera 760 in direct sunlight, and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat. The battery icon in the top right of the screen indicates the status of the aera 760 battery. To increase the accuracy of the battery gauge, fully discharge the battery and fully charge it. Do not unplug the aera 760 until it is fully charged. MAXIMIZING THE BATTERY LIFE Turn down the backlight (refer to the 'System Settings' chapter of this section). Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight, in a cool (not freezing) place. When storing the unit, store within the following temperature ranges: safe storage -15 to 55 C, or long term storage 0 to 25 C. Do not operate the unit outside of the following temperature range: -15 to 55 C. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat. CHANGING THE FUSE If the unit does not charge, the fuse may need to be replaced. 1) Unscrew the round end piece, and remove it. 2) Remove the fuse (glass and silver cylinder), and replace with a 3A fast-blow fuse. 3) Ensure the silver tip is placed in the end piece. Screw on the end piece. 207 End Piece Silver Tip Fuse CLEANING THE CASING The aera 760 is constructed of high-quality materials and does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the outer casing (not the touchscreen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution, and then wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components. CLEANING THE TOUCHSCREEN The aera 760 display uses a lens coated with a special coating that is very sensitive to abrasive cleaners. AVOID CHEMICAL CLEANERS AND SOLVENTS THAT WILL HARM THE SPECIAL COATING. It is very important when cleaning the touchscreen to use a clean, lint-free cloth (lightly dampened with water, if necessary). PROTECTING THE UNIT occur. Do not store the aera 760 where prolonged exposure to extreme temperature can Though a PDA stylus can be used to operate the touchscreen, never attempt this while operating an aircraft. Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touchscreen. 208 APPENDIX F: GENERAL TIS-A INFORMATION NOTE: Aircraft without an operational transponder are invisible to TIS-A. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information for collision avoidance maneuvering. The traffic display does not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not, under any circumstances or conditions, relieve the pilots responsibility to see and avoid other aircraft. WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the display of traffic information to accurately depict all of the traffic within range of the aircraft. Due to lack of equipment, poor signal reception, and/or inaccurate information from aircraft or ground stations, traffic may be present that is not represented on the display. The Traffic Information Service (TIS-A) provides traffic advisory information to non-
TAS/TCAS-equipped aircraft. TIS-A is a ground-based service providing the relative locations of all ATCRBS (Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System) Mode-A and Mode-C transponder equipped aircraft within a specified service volume. The TIS-A ground sensor uses real-time track reports to generate traffic notification. The aera 760 displays TIS-A traffic information on the Navigation Map. Surveillance data includes all transponder-equipped aircraft within the coverage volume. The aera 760 displays up to eight traffic targets within a 7.5-nm radius, from 3,000 feet below, to 3,500 feet above the requesting aircraft. TIS-A VS. TAS/TCAS The main difference between the Traffic Information System (TIS-A) and Traffic Advisory (TAS) or Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) is the source of surveillance data. TAS/TCAS uses an airborne interrogator with a half-second update rate, while TIS-A utilizes the terminal Mode-S ground interrogator and accompanying data link to provide a five-second update rate. TIS-A and TAS/TCAS have similar ranges. 209 TIS-A LIMITATIONS TIS-A relies on surveillance of the Mode-S radar system, which is a secondary surveillance radar system similar to that used by ATCRBS. Many limitations are inherent in secondary radar surveillance. Information provided by TIS-A is neither better nor more accurate than the information used by ATC. TIS-A is intended only to assist in visual acquisition of other aircraft in visual meteorological conditions (VMC). While TIS-A is a useful aid for visual traffic avoidance, system limitations must be considered to ensure proper use. No recommended avoidance maneuvers are given, nor authorized, as a direct result of a TIS-A intruder display or TIS-A advisory. TIS-A operation may be intermittent during turns or other maneuvering. TIS-A is dependent on two-way, line-of-sight communications between the aircraft and the Mode-S radar antenna. Whenever the structure of the aircraft comes between the transponder antenna and the ground-based radar antenna, the signal may be temporarily interrupted. NOTE: Refer to the TIS-A Limitations section of the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) for a more comprehensive explanation of limitations and anomalies associated with TIS-A. NOTE: TIS-A is unavailable at low altitudes in many areas of the United States. This is often the case in mountainous regions. NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for Mode S geographical coverage. Operation of the ground stations is the responsibility of the FAA. Refer to the AIM for a Terminal Mode S radar site map. 210 TIS-A information is collected during a single radar sweep. Collected information is then sent through the Mode S uplink on the next radar sweep. Because of this, the surveillance information is approximately five seconds old. TIS-A ground station tracking software uses prediction algorithms to compensate for this delay. These algorithms use track history data to calculate expected intruder positions consistent with the time of display. Occasionally, aircraft maneuvering may cause variations in this calculation and create slight errors on the Navigation Map which affect relative bearing information and the target track vector and may delay display of the intruder information. However, intruder distance and altitude typically remain relatively accurate and may be used to assist in spotting traffic. The following errors are common examples:
When the client or intruder aircraft maneuvers excessively or abruptly, the tracking algorithm may report incorrect horizontal position until the maneuvering aircraft stabilizes. When a rapidly closing intruder is on a course that intercepts the client aircraft course at a shallow angle (either overtaking or head-on) and either aircraft abruptly changes course within 0.25 nm, TIS-A may display the intruder aircraft on the incorrect side of the client aircraft. These are rare occurrences and are typically resolved within a few radar sweeps once the client/intruder aircraft course stabilizes. Pilots using TIS-A can provide valuable assistance in the correction of malfunctions by reporting observations of undesirable performance. Reports should identify the time of observation, location, type and identity of the aircraft, and describe the condition observed. Reports should also include the type of transponder and transponder software version. Since TIS-A performance is monitored by maintenance personnel, not ATC, malfunctions should be reported in the following ways:

WEIGHT & BALANCE Weight & Balance may be used during pre-flight preparations to verify the weight and balance conditions of the aircraft. By entering the weight and arm values, the aera 760 can calculate the total weight, moment, and center of gravity (CG). Before entering the various figures, the empty weight of the airplane and the arm (or station) for each weight should be determined. These figures should be determined using the pilots operating handbook for the airplane, which also notes the weight limitations and fore/aft CG limits. Compare those figures to the values calculated by the aera 760. Fuel units specified in an Aircraft Profile will carry over to the Weight & Balance page. Once the Weight & Balance page is set to use the same fuel units as in the current Aircraft Profile, the Weight & Balance page will inherit the setting from the Profile. 221 To perform weight and balance calculations:

The datum is physically represented by a framework of ground monuments (such as trig. stations) whose locations have been accurately measured and calculated on this reference surface. Lines of latitude and longitude on a chart are referenced to a specific map datum. Every chart has a map datum reference and the aera 760 can be set to match most of those commonly used. LOCATION FORMATS Your current location can be viewed on the GPS in the form of coordinates. Since different charts use different location formats, Garmin GPS units allow you to choose the correct coordinate system for the type of chart you are using. The most common format is latitude and longitude, which is used by all Garmin units. You can change the location format to use with other coordinate systems. Several other grids, including a user-definable grid (for the advanced user), are available. 231 Blank Page 232 APPENDIX J: GLOSSARY ADIZ ADS-B ADS-B In ADS-B Out ADS-B Participating Aircraft ADS-R AGL AIRMET ARTCC ASOS ATC ATIS AWOS Bearing C Calibrated Airspeed cm COM Course Course to Steer Air Defense Identification Zone Automatic Dependant Surveillance -Broadcast Ability to receive ADS-B information from other aircraft and Ground Based Transceivers (GBTs) Ability to transmit ADS-B data on 1090 ES or 978 MHz An aircraft that has both ADS-B In and ADS-B Out capabilities.

Garmin International, Inc. 1200 East 151st Street Olathe, KS 66062 Re: Confidentiality for submittal information regarding FCC ID: IPH-03880 Product: Transmitter operated under 47CFR Section 15C Dear Sirs:
Garmin International, Inc. requests that the material in the Block Diagram, Operational Description, Schematics, and Tune up Procedure be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commissions Rules following grant of the application. In support of this request, Garmin International, Inc. submits the following information. CONFIDENTIAL FILES GMN02303 Conf BlkDia.pdf GMN02303 Conf OpDes.pdf GMN02303 Conf Schem.pdf GMN02303 Conf TunPro.pdf 1. Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought:
The materials set forth in the Block Diagram, Operational Description, Schematics, and Tune up Procedure which are segregated, from the non-confidential exhibits of the application, are those for which confidentiality is sought. 2. Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission:
The proceeding is that involving the application for equipment authorization (certification) under FCC ID: IPH-03880 3. Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade secret or is privileged:
This material includes a detailed Block Diagram, Operational Description, Schematics, and Tune up Procedure. As such, this material is treated as highly confidential business information. Page 1 of 2 4. Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to competition:
The material for which confidentiality is sought is employed in the design and manufacture of this transmitting equipment that is offered on a highly competitive basis. Customers for this equipment have a variety of competing sources. 5. Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm:
Disclosure would, in effect, give away the fruits of the labors of Garmin International, Inc.s engineering personnel, who have designed the equipment and the manufacturing process. Disclosure would also offer competitors additional unwarranted insight into the state of the product development, thereby allowing competitors an advantage, not available to Garmin International, Inc. 6. Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized disclosure:
The information for which confidential treatment is sought is kept confidential by Garmin International, Inc. and not made available to third parties except pursuant to non-disclosure agreements. 7. Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any previous disclosure of the information to third parties:
To the knowledge of those preparing this application, the information has not been disclosed publicly heretofore. While the general theory of operation of this equipment has been the subject of numerous disclosures in industry the protection sought is narrowly drawn as provided in regulations. 8. Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that the material should not be available for public disclosure:
This material should not be disclosed for at least 25 years. While improvements in design are made relatively frequently, disclosure of the design information would lead to insights into both design and manufacturing techniques that could have an adverse competitive effect for many years to come. As such, it is important that the design not be made available to unauthorized persons who might attempt to use knowledge of the design to compromise the applications for which the equipment will be employed. Should you require any further information, please contact the undersigned. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Scot Rogers Page 2 of 2
