APPENDIX b

UPDATING GARMIN DATABASES

The Garmin database updates can be obtained by following the instructions detailed in the ‘Aviation

Databases’ section of the Garmin website (fly.garmin.com). Once the updated files have been downloaded
from the website, a PC equipped with an appropriate SD card reader is used to unpack and program the
new databases onto the existing Supplemental Data Cards. Equipment required to perform the update is as
follows:

• Windows-compatible PC computer (Windows 2000 or XP recommended)

• SanDisk SD Card Reader, P/Ns SDDR-93 or SDDR-99 or equivalent card reader

• Updated database obtained from the Garmin website

• Existing Supplemental Database SD Cards (010-00330-41, -42, or -43) from both PFDs and MFD

In some cases it may be necessary to obtain an unlock code from Garmin in order to make the database

product functional. It may also be necessary to have the system configured by a Garmin authorized service
facility in order to use some database features.

After the data has been copied to the appropriate data cards, perform the following steps:

1)

Insert one SD card in the bottom card slot of the MFD and one in the bottom card slot of each 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 system. View the MFD power-up screen. Check that the databases are initialized and
displayed on the power-up 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 proceeding to
step 3.

4)

5)

Turn the small FMS Knob to select the System Status Page.
