3.9.8 Terrain/Obstacle Database Cards
NOTE
If the G1000 is to be equipped with the FliteCharts or ChartView display options, the appropriate
databases are required to be loaded onto the Terrain/Obstacle cards before they are installed in the
displays. ChartView database subscription services must be procured directly from Jeppesen and are
usually sourced by the aircraft owner. Further, the ChartView feature must be ‘enabled’ before the
G1000 can use the databases (see Section 3.9.6).
There is no enable card for Garmin FliteCharts. A single cycle of Garmin FliteCharts is loaded on the
database cards when they are manufactured at Garmin. Additional FliteCharts database updates are
obtained directly from Garmin’s web site and are updated on a periodic basis. The G1000
automatically detects the FliteCharts databases and activates the display feature. If the G1000 detects
a ChartView database and a FliteCharts database, it will always activate the ChartView database.
