Garmin GDL 50(R)/52(R) User’s Guide
WARNING: The altitude calculated by the GPS receiver is geometric height
above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed
by pressure altimeters.
WARNING: The United States government operates the Global Positioning
System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS
system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance
of all GPS equipment.
WARNING: Traffic information is provided as an aid in visually acquiring
traffic. Pilots must maneuver the aircraft based only upon ATC guidance or
positive visual acquisition of conflicting traffic. The traffic information does
not provide collision avoidance resolution advisories and does not, under
any circumstances or conditions, relieve the pilot’s responsibility to see and
avoid other aircraft.
WARNING: Do not rely solely upon the 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 connected
display.

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 GDL50(R)/52(R) User’s Manual documentation
and the Pilot’s Operating Handbook of the aircraft. Thoroughly practice basic
operation prior to actual use. During flight operations, carefully compare
indications from the GDL50(R)/52(R) to all available flight displays. For safety
purposes, always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
WARNING: The GDL50/52 contains a lithium-ion battery. To prevent damage,
remove the unit from the aircraft or vehicle when exiting or store it out of
direct sunlight.
WARNING: When installing the GDL 50(R)/52(R) in an aircraft, place the
unit securely so that it does not interfere with aircraft operating controls or
obstruct the pilot’s view.
WARNING: For safety reasons, GDL 50(R)/52(R) operational procedures
must be learned on the ground.

WARNING: When Navigating in an aircraft, use the GDL 50(R)/52(R) only
as an aid for VFR navigation.
WARNING: Use the GDL 50(R)/52(R) only as a navigational aid. Do not
attempt to use the GDL 50(R)/52(R) for any purpose requiring precise
measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography. This product
should not be used to determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation.
WARNING: This unit provides the ability to receive weather information
through external sources. Use weather data only as an aid to situational
awareness. Such weather information is merely supplemental and advisory
in nature and is not intended to be relied upon as safety-critical information
in connection with any aviation, vehicle, or marine usage. The user should
always exercise caution and common sense when confronted with severe
weather conditions.
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: The pressure altitude information provided by the GDL
50(R)/52(R) in a pressurized airplane will not be accurate. Use the connected
display device to disable pressure information from the GDL 50(R)/52(R).

CAUTION: The Garmin GDL 50(R)/52(R) 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
pilot’s authority to operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
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 GDL50(R)/52(R) 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 GDL50(R)/52(R). 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.
NOTE: All visual depictions contained within this document, including
images of the GDL 50(R)/52(R) and the bezel, displays, and screens of other
products are subject to change and may not reflect the most current software
or hardware. Depictions of equipment may differ slightly from the actual
equipment.
