Three reasons for Horizon:
| |||||||||
| |||||||||
| |||||||||
Horizon is a non certified backup system which is not designed for usage as a primary flight instrument. Nevertheless it provides most of the features of a modern built-in glass cockpit system and even some which are usually not available. The pilot in command must not use Horizon as a flight instrument. The pilot in command must know the possibility of errors in the used data or in the app itself and therefore must not use Horizon in a way that an error can result in some kind of accident/incident or asset loss. This can be done for example by using your certified instruments only. Please also check your applicable laws for a lawful usage. | |||||||||
