3.49 Navigation Database Loading
A new navigation database cycle may be loaded before it is effective. The new database will be stored on
the G1000 bottom SD card until it becomes effective. The G1000 will automatically update to use the
new database at the first on-ground power-on after its effectivity date.
Follow this procedure to load the navigation database:
1. Remove power from the PFD1, PFD2 and MFD.
2. Insert an SD card containing the latest cycle Jeppesen navigation database (data supplied by
Jeppesen) into the top slot of the MFD.
3. Apply power to the PFD1, PFD2 and MFD. A prompt similar to the following will be displayed
on the MFD:
4. Select the YES softkey to confirm the standby navigation database update.
5. After the database is updated, a prompt similar to the following will be displayed on the MFD:
6. Select the NO softkey to allow the system to use the database when it becomes effective.
NOTE
If the new database is not yet effective but it is desired to use the new database
immediately, select the YES softkey. To eliminate database mismatch errors when
selecting the YES softkey, the database must also be loaded on PFD1 and PFD2
individually following the same process.
7. The system will synchronize and automatically update as necessary. Monitor the synchronization
process on the AUX – SYSTEM STATUS page in the SYNC STATUS sub-section within the
DATABASE window This sub-section is only present when a sync is occurring or has occurred
on the current power cycle.
