GTX SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND TESTING

Original GTX Reinstalled:
No software or configuration loading is required if the original GTX is reinstalled. This does not
include units that were returned for repair as their software and configuration files are deleted
during the repair testing process.
New, Repaired or Exchange GTX is Installed:
Ensure that the correct airframe type is selected before proceeding; otherwise,
incorrect configuration information will be loaded.
If a new, repaired or exchange GTX is installed; load the following files after removing the
Supplemental Database cards from the bottom slots of each display. Note which card was
removed from the MFD so it may be identified later for reinsertion in the MFD when software
and configuration loading is complete. It contains a FliteChart® or ChartView database which is
only used in the MFD. Reinstall all the cards after the software and configuration file loads are
complete.
