APPENDIX b

Since these databases are not stored internally in the PFD or MFD, a Supplemental Data Card containing

identical database versions must be kept in each display unit. A Supplemental Data Card should be inserted
into the bottom card slot of the PFD and the MFD and not removed except for updating the card.

The Garmin database updates can be obtained by following the instructions detailed in the ‘Aviation Databases’

section of the Garmin website (www.garmin.com). Once the updated files have been downloaded from the
website, a PC equipped with an appropriate SD card reader is used to unpack and program the new databases
onto the existing Supplemental Data Cards. The following equipment is required to perform the update:

• Windows-compatible PC computer (Windows 2000 or XP recommended)

• SD Card Reader: SanDisk SDDR-93, SanDisk SDDR-99, Verbatim #96504, or equivalent

• Updated database obtained from the Garmin website

• Existing 010-00330-42 Supplemental Database SD Cards from both PFD and MFD

Updating Garmin databases:

1)

Copy the data to the appropriate data cards.

2)

Insert one SD card in the bottom card slot of the MFD and one in the bottom card slot of each PFD.

3)

Apply power to the G950 System. View the MFD Power-up screen. Check that the databases are initialized
and displayed on the Power-up screen. When updating the terrain database, an ‘in progress’ message may be
seen. If this message is present, wait for the system to finish loading before verifying the correct databases are
initialized, then proceed to step 3.

4)

Acknowledge the Power-up Page agreement by pressing the ENT Key or the right most softkey.

5) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX - System Setup Page.

6)

Select the DBASE Softkey to place the cursor in the ‘DATABASE’ box.

7)

Turn the FMS Knob to scroll through the list and check that all databases are current and there are no errors.

8)

Power down the G950.
