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 database information. These discrepancies could come in the form of an
incorrect procedure; incorrectly identified terrain, obstacles and fixes; or any other
displayed item used for navigation or communication in the air or on the ground.
Go to flygarmin.com and select Aviation Data Error Report.
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.
LOADING UPDATED DATABASES
CAUTION: Never disconnect power to the system when loading a database.
Power interruption during the database loading process could result in
maintenance being required to reboot the system.
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-
Database' Page.
Databases may be loaded through Garmin Pilot and the Flight Stream 510 (Bluetooth
Transceiver). The Bluetooth Transceiver must be enabled on the system and the multimedia
card inserted in the bottom SD slot of the MFD.
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 cycles. When this arrow is visible, it indicates that the standby and active
databases in that row will be switched on the next power cycle, activating the current
standby database. Databases can also be manually selected (or deselected) by highlighting
a list item and pressing the ENT Key, provided a valid, verified standby database is present.
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.
