March 2008 190-00356-30 Revision C 190-00356-30 Rev C The screen display examples shown in this addendum are taken from the GNS 430W and GNS 530W. TIS and Weather Data Link Display Interface functionality is the same for the 400W and 500W Series Units. TIS Traffic Display and Weather Data Link are available only when the 400W/500W units are configured with the GTX 330 Mode S Transponder and GDL 69/69A Data Link Transceiver, respectively.

WARNING: Terrain data are obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of this data which should be used only as an aid for situational awareness. Terrain data must not be used as the sole basis for deci- sions or maneuvers to avoid terrain or obstacles. Terrain data must not be used for navigation. CAUTION: Use the 400W/500W Series Units at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation, carefully review and understand all aspects of the Owner’s Manual and the Flight Manual Supplement, and thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. CAUTION: The Global Positioning System is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although Garmin 400W/500W Series Units are precision electronic NAVigation AIDS (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and therefore become unsafe. CAUTION: Use the Weather Data Link Interface, TIS, TAWS, and TERRAIN at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe opera- tion, thoroughly practice basic operation prior to actual use. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the Garmin unit to all available navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDS, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation. The GPS altitude format calculated by the Garmin 400W/500W Series units is geometric height above mean sea level and could vary significantly from altitude displayed by pres- sure altimeters in aircraft. Never use GPS altitude to determine aircraft altitude. CAUTION: The Jeppesen database incorporated in the Garmin 400W/500W Series Units must be updated regularly in order to ensure that its information is current. Updates are released every 28 days. A database information packet is included in your Garmin 400W/500W Series Unit package. Pilots using an out-of-date database do so entirely at their own risk. CAUTION: The Weather Data Link, TIS, TAWS, and TERRAIN information contained in this Pilot’s Guide Addendum is not intended to replace the documentation that is supplied with the applicable Garmin 400W/500W Series Unit and the GTX 330 Transponder. The user must know how to operate the 400W/500W Series Unit and be knowledgeable of the information in the 400W/500W Pilot’s Guide. TIS CAUTION: TIS is NOT intended to be used as a collision avoidance system and does not relieve pilot responsibility to “see and avoid” other aircraft. TIS should not be used for avoidance maneuvers during IMC or other times when there is no visual contact with the intruder aircraft. TIS is intended only to assist in visual acquisition of other aircraft in VMC. Avoidance maneu- vers are not recommended, nor authorized, as a direct result of a TIS intruder display or TIS alert. While TIS is a useful aid to visual traffic avoidance, it has some system limitations that must be fully understood to ensure proper use. Many of these limitations are inherent in secondary radar surveillance. In other words, the information provided by TIS will be no better than that provided to ATC. CAUTION: Garmin would like to remind pilots flying with GDL 69/69A-equipped aircraft that TFRs are only advisory and are not a replacement for a thorough preflight briefing on TFR times and locations. Always confirm TFR data through official sources and contact your Flight Service Station for interpretation of TFR data. 190-00356-30 Rev C

Part One: Traffic Information Service (TIS) Interface Section 1: TIS Operation and Symbology TIS Operation NOTE: Part One of this Addendum assumes the user has experience operating the 400W/500W Series units and the Garmin GTX 330 Transponder. The Traffic Information Service (TIS) provides a graphic display of traffic advisory information in the cockpit for non-TCAS (Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System) equipped aircraft. TIS is a ground- based service providing relative location of all ATCRBS (Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System) Mode A and Mode C transponder-equipped aircraft within a specified service volume. The TIS ground sensor uses real-time track reports to generate traffic notification. TIS Traffic display is available to aircraft equipped with a Mode S Data Link such as the Garmin GTX 330 Transponder. TIS Traffic from a GTX 330 Transpon- der can then be displayed on a Garmin 400W/500W Series unit. Surveillance data includes all transponder- equipped aircraft within the coverage volume. Aircraft without an operating transponder are invisible to TIS. TIS displays up to eight traffic targets within seven nautical miles horizontally from 3000 feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting aircraft. The TIS is a ground-based service that displays nearby aircraft on your 400W/500W-series display. For the TIS feature to inform you of a nearby aircraft’s presence, several conditions must be met: • Your aircraft must be equipped with a Mode S data link transponder, such as the GTX 330. • You must be within range of a Mode S radar that provides the TIS service. Not all Mode S ground radars provide TIS service. • The “intruder” aircraft must be equipped with a transponder, and that transponder must be turned on. Aircraft that are not equipped with operating transponders will not be visible to the Mode S surveillance radar. • The “intruder” aircraft must be within the TIS coverage volume for your aircraft. TIS displays up to eight traffic targets within seven nautical miles horizontally from the requesting aircraft, and from 3,000 feet below to 3,500 feet above the requesting aircraft. • Both your aircraft and the intruder aircraft must be visible to the Mode S surveillance radar on the ground. Always remember that TIS cannot alert you to the presence of aircraft that are not equipped with transponders, nor can it alert you to aircraft that may be nearby, but obscured from the ground surveillance radar by intervening terrain.
