APPENDIX E: Software Updates 
PROCEDURE 
1.  Format the SD card with your PC. Select the FAT 32 option in the format window. Format is 
typically a right-mouse-click option in the Windows File Explorer. See picture below. Be sure to 
select the SD card and not any other drive on your computer.  Formatting will erase all data from 
the selected drive. 
2.  Download the latest version of software file onto the SD Card: 
http://www.advanced-flight-systems.com 
3.  Insert the SD data card into the slot on the AF-3000 unit. 
4.  Power on unit with Master Power not Internal Battery. 
5.  Remove the card after the system has installed the new software, 2 to 3 minutes. 
6.  Verify that your ARINC adaptor does not require updated software using the software install 
notes. 
CAUTION: If the SD data card is left in the system with the new software file, it will install software 
every time power is turned on.
