4) After the update completes, the PFD starts in normal
mode.
5) Turn the G1000 System OFF and remove the SD
card.
6) Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the MFD. The MFD
and PFD databases are now updated. Remove the
SD card when finished.
7) Verify that the correct update cycle is loaded during
startup of the MFD.
Garmin Databases
Since these databases are not stored internally in the
MFD or PFD, a Supplemental Data Card containing iden-
tical database versions must be kept in each display unit.
NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and
obstacle databases comes from government
agencies. Garmin accurately processes and
cross-validates the data, but cannot guarantee
the accuracy and completeness of the data.
1) Insert one SD card in the bottom card slot of the
MFD and one in the bottom card slot of the PFD.
The SD card containing the ChartView or FliteCharts
database must be inserted into the bottom slot on
the MFD.
2) Apply power to the G1000 System. View the MFD
power-up splash screen. Check that the databases
are initialized and displayed on the scrolling
window of the splash screen. When updating the
terrain and FliteCharts databases, an ‘in progress’
message may be seen. If this message is present,
wait for the system to finish loading before verifying
the correct databases are initialized, then proceed
to step 3.
