  • Page 202 Touch Experimental Pilot’s Guide After the database scanning is complete, the database loading page is updated with database status information. This page shows which databases to install and how much time each database installa- tion will take. Figure 210 Database Loading Page Example – 2 The KSD Database column displays the installed databases and ver- sion numbers.
  • Page 203 Touch Experimental Pilot’s Guide The External DB column lists each database as SAME, FUTURE CYCLE, or EXPIRED CYCLE. The database effectivity is displayed for each database. When the installed database and the USB database are the same, SAME is displayed.
  • Page 204 Touch Experimental Pilot’s Guide During the loading process the Progress column displays the installa- tion progress. Figure 211 Example of a Data Loading in Progress Screen The progress of each database selected for installation is displayed in the Progress column. The time remaining is displayed for each remaining database to be loaded.
  • Page 205 Touch Experimental Pilot’s Guide When the database loading is complete, a pop-up window “Database Load Successful Cycle Power on the KSD 100” appears. Figure 213 Database Loading Complete Remove the USB stick, turn the aircraft avionics switch off, wait 10 seconds, and turn it back on.
