Navigation
Data associated with the moving map is found on four pages: Map, Nearest,
Trip, and Info pages. The MFD contains a Jeppesen NavData database that is
available for display on the Map page. In conjunction with GPS-supplied
position information, an own-ship symbol is superimposed on the moving
map and positioned relative to the NavData information. GPS can also supply
the active flight plan for display on the moving map. Terrain data is provided
by a USGS terrain database stored within the MFD and updated only on an as
needed basis.
The Jeppesen Navigation Database provides data on airports, approaches,
VOR's, NDB's, intersections, airspace definitions, and frequencies. North
American and international databases are available. Database information can
be updated via the USB port on the front face of the bezel.
The navigation data on the moving map display are based on databases that
are updated periodically. Database updates are available on 28-day cycle
subscriptions. Expired databases are clearly stated to the pilot via messages
during system startup and on the System Setup page. The warning can only
be removed by updating the data.
NOAA man-made obstruction database information provides data on
man-made obstacles over 200 feet AGL. This data is only available for North
America and can be updated via the USB port on the front face of the bezel.
The obstacle data on the moving map display are based on databases that are
updated periodically. Database updates are available from Avidyne on 56-day
cycle subscriptions. Expired databases are clearly stated to the pilot via messages
during system startup and on the System Setup page. The warning can only be
removed by updating the data.
