DATABASE MANAGEMENT
CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database.
Power interruption during the database loading process could result in
maintenance being required to reboot the system.
The system uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data.
For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as
Jeppesen navigation and ChartView database updates. Not all SD cards are compatible
with the system. Use only SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft manufacturer.
CAUTION: When downloading updates to the Jeppesen Navigation Database,
copy the data to an SD card other than a Garmin Supplemental Data Card.
Otherwise, data corruption can occur.
NOTE: When loading database updates, the ‘DB Mismatch’ message will
be displayed until database synchronization is complete, followed by turning
system power off, then on. Synchronization can be monitored on the Avionics
Status Screen on the Touchscreen Controller.
NOTE: Loading a database in the system prior to its effective date will result
in the expiration date on the power-up screen and the effective date on the
Avionics Status Screen being displayed in yellow.
NOTE: Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies
related to database information. These discrepancies could come in the form
of an incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or
any other displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or
on the ground. Go to FlyGarmin.com and select “Aviation Data Error Report.
Jeppesen Databases
The Jeppesen navigation database is updated on a 28-day cycle. The ChartView
database is updated on a 14-day cycle. If the ChartView database is not updated
within 70 days of the expiration date, ChartView will no longer function. Both of these
databases are provided directly from Jeppesen.
The ChartView database should be copied to a Garmin supplied Supplemental Data
Card which will reside in the bottom card slot on of one of the GDUs. The navigation
database must be installed from the Jeppesen or user supplied SD data card. Contact
Jeppesen (www.jeppesen.com) for subscription and update information.
