memory of each GTC. After power-up, the system compares all copies of each
applicable database. If similar databases do not match, the most recent valid database
is automatically copied to each card in the system that does not already contain that
database.
The following databases are checked and synchronized: Navigation, Basemap,
Safetaxi, Terrain, Obstacle, FliteCharts, ChartView, and Airport Directory.
NOTE:
The terrain database may take as long as 100 minutes to
synchronize using this method. Therefore the user may want to transfer
the data using a PC, or connect the system to a ground power source
while performing the database synchronization.
The synchronization progress may be monitored on the Database Status Screen
on the Touchscreen Controller. This screen shows the synchronization status of each
applicable database as follows:
• Sync in Progress with percent complete
• Sync Complete
• Sync Error
While database synchroniztion is occurring, ‘Sync in Progress’ is displayed along
with percent complete. When the synchronization is complete for the selected
GDU or GTC Database Status Screen, the status is listed as ‘Sync Complete’. The
synchonization status is only present when a sync is occurring or has occurred on the
current power-up.
An indication of ‘Sync Complete’ still requires a power cycle before the synchronized
databases will be used by the system.
To view database status:
1)
From the Home Screen on the Touchscreen Controller, touch Utilities > Setup
> Avionics Status.
Or
From the PFD Home screen, touch Utilities > Avionics Status.
2)
If necessary, touch the Database Tab. The Touchscreen Controller shows a list
of displays on which databases reside.
3)
Touch a button from the list to view database information associated with that
display (MFD1, PFD1, PFD2, GTC1, GTC2).
4)
Scroll through the database information to view database status.
