Database Management; Loading Updated Databases - Garmin G1000 NXI Cockpit Reference Manual

daTaBaSE MaNaGEMENT

Database information is obtained from third party sources. Inaccuracies in the data may be
discovered from time to time. Garmin communicates this information by issuing a Database
Alert. These notifications are available on flygarmin.com.
Garmin requests the flight crew report any observed discrepancies related to da-
tabase information. These discrepancies could come in the form of an incor-
rect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or any other dis-
played item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground.
Go to flygarmin.com and select Aviation Data Error Report.
Databases may be loaded through Garmin Pilot and the Wireless Transceiver. When loading
databases through Garmin Pilot and the Wireless Transceiver, the Wireless Transceiver must be
enabled on the system and the multimedia card inserted in the bottom SD slot of the MFD.
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 'Aux – Databases' Page.
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 'Aux – Databases'
Page being displayed in amber.

card is inserted, the databases on the card will be copied to standby and synchronized across
all powered, configured units. When in standby, databases are not immediately available for
use, but stored to be activated at a later time.
The cycles and dates for both standby and active databases are displayed on the 'Aux –
Databases' Page on the MFD. Any active databases with expiration dates in the past will be
highlighted with amber text. When an expired active database has a standby database that is
ready to become effective, a cyan double-sided arrow will be displayed between the database
