SD CARD USE

The G1000 System uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of
data. For basic flight operations, SD cards are required for database storage as well as
Jeppesen aviation and ChartView database updates.
Jeppesen Databases
The Jeppesen aviation database is updated on a 28-day cycle. The ChartView da-
tabase is updated on a 14-day cycle. If the ChartView database is not updated within
70 days of the expiration date, ChartView will no longer function.
Both these databases are provided directly from Jeppesen. The ChartView database
should be copied to the Garmin supplied Supplemental Data Card which will reside
in the bottom card slot on the MFD. The aviation database may be installed from the
Jeppesen supplied SD data card or copied to one of the Garmin supplied Supplemen-
tal Data Cards. Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen.com) for subscription and update
information.
The aviation database may be programmed to only one of the Supplemental Data
Cards. This card must then be used to update the PFDs and the MFD.
NOTE: After the aviation database is installed, the card may be removed
after loading the update to each LRU.
Updating the Jeppesen aviation database:
1) With the G1000 System OFF, insert the SD card containing the aviation
database update into the top card slot of the first PFD to be updated (Label
of SD card facing left).
2) Turn the G1000 System ON. A prompt similar to the following is displayed
in the upper left corner of the PFD:
