10) Touch the MFD1 button from the list to view the navigation database
information. Verify the active navigation database cycle information is correct.
While the database is copying, progress can be monitored at the bottom of
the applicable database field. When copying is finished, ‘Sync Complete’ is
displayed.
11) Touch Back to return to the list of displays, and repeat step 10 to verify the
information for each display. The new active navigation database is copied to
the internal memory of PFD1, PFD2, GTC1, and GTC2.
12) When copying is complete to all GDUs and GTCs, turn the system OFF.
13) Turn the system ON.
Dual Navigation Database Feature
The dual navigation database feature allows each display to store an upcoming
navigation database on the bottom SD card so that the system can automatically load it
to replace the active database when the new database becomes effective (the next cycle
becomes available seven days prior to its effective date).
If a navigation database loader card is inserted into the top SD card slot of a display,
and an SD card is in the bottom slot, the system will prompt the user (upon on-
ground power up) as to whether the database should be stored on the bottom SD
card as the standby database. If the user responds affirmatively, the system will copy
the navigation database from the top SD card to the bottom SD card. As long as the
bottom SD card remains in the card slot, this standby navigation database will be
available for the system to use as the active database as soon as it becomes effective.
The system checks the active and standby databases upon (on-ground only) power-
up. If the standby database is current and the active database is out of date, the
display will upload the standby database into the active internal database location.
Uploading the standby database to the active location takes approximately 45-55
seconds. The pilot is alerted that the update is complete by a system alert message,
‘NAV DB UPDATED’.
Loading a standby navigation database:
1) With the system OFF, insert the SD card containing the new navigation database
version into the top card slot of the MFD with the label of SD card facing left.
2) Ensure a Supplemental Data Card is inserted into the bottom card slot of each
GDU.
3) Turn the system ON. A prompt is presented on the MFD display:
