SAFETAXI CYCLE NUMBER AND REVISION

SafeTaxi database is revised every 56 days. SafeTaxi is always available for use after
the expiration date. When turning on the aera, the database initialization indicates
whether the databases are current, out of date, or not available. The database
initialization shows the SafeTaxi database is current when the SafeTaxi name and
expiration date are shown in white. When the SafeTaxi cycle has expired, the SafeTaxi
name and expiration date will appear in yellow.
The SafeTaxi Region, Cycle, Effective date and Expiration date of the database cycle
can also be found from the Main Menu, by touching the Tools > Database.
The SafeTaxi database is provided by Garmin. Refer to Appendix C for instructions
on updating the SafeTaxi database.

5.2 AIRPORT DIRECTORY DATA

The Airport Directory contains airport statistics such as pattern altitudes, noise
abatement information, FBO phone numbers, hours of operation, local attractions,
ground transportation, lodging, and services.
The AOPA Airport Directory provides data on airports and heliports throughout the
U.S. and it is updated on a 56-day cycle. Detailed information for over 5,300 U.S.
airports, along with the names and phone numbers of thousands of FBOs can be
viewed. This service allows the pilot to plan an overnight, choose fuel stops, find
ground transportation, etc.
Optional airport directory databases such as AC-U-KWIK are also supported. AC-
U-KWIK provides complete listings of FBOs, charter companies, fuel suppliers, ground
transportation, maintenance and catering services at public airports across the world.
If the AOPA database is in use, the AOPA Tab is displayed on the Waypoint Page. If
another airport directory database is in use, such as AC-U-KWIK, the DIRECTORY Tab
is displayed on the Waypoint Page.
