system to automatically update the active navigation database as applicable per database effectivity.

9) Repeat steps 1-8 for each PFD and the MFD, if updating manually.
10) Verify the effectivity of the active navigation database in each PFD and the MFD on the AUX-System Status Page.
NOTE: The system compares the active databases on each PFD and the MFD, and displays a system alert
message ‘DB Mismatch’ if they are not identical. Similarly, if the standby databases on each PFD and the
MFD are not identical, the system will display a ‘DB Mismatch’ alert for the standby navigation databases.
Garmin recommends enabling the automatic database synchronization feature to protect against database
mismatches.
