3.39 Supplemental Database Loading
1. Open PFD1, PFD2 and MFD circuit breakers.
2. Remove the SD card containing the supplemental databases from the lower slot of the MFD.
Supplemental databases include basemap, Safetaxi, airport terrain, obstacle, airport directory and
terrain databases.
3. Download the current supplemental databases to the SD card.
4. Reinsert the SD card containing the current supplemental databases into the lower slot of the
MFD.
5. Close PFD1, PFD2 and MFD circuit breakers.
6. The system will synchronize the data to the PFDs as necessary (FliteCharts and ChartView are
located only on the MFD and do not require synchronization.) Monitor the synchronization
process on the AUX – SYSTEM STATUS page in the SYNC STATUS sub-section within the
DATABASE window This sub-section is only present when a sync is occurring or has occurred
on the current power cycle.
Figure 3-22, Supplemental Database Synchronization
7. If an error occurs during synchronization, one of the following messages will be displayed
followed by the affected GDU:
Err No Space – SD card does not contain sufficient memory
Timeout – system timed-out prior to the database transfer completing
Err – displayed for all other errors
Note that a power cycle is required to restart synchronization when ‘Err No Space’ or ‘Err’ is
shown.
8. When the synchronization is complete, the status is shown as ‘Complete’.
9. Cycle power to PFD1, PFD2 and MFD.
10. The supplemental databases in PFD1, PFD2 and MFD are now updated.
11. On the AUX – SYSTEM STATUS page, press the MFD1 DB softkey. Scroll through all of the
databases contained in the MFD and confirm that the correct databases are loaded.
12. Press the MFD1 DB softkey again to toggle to PFD1 DB. Scroll through all of the databases
contained in the PFD1 and confirm that the correct databases are loaded.
13. Press the PFD1 DB softkey again to toggle to PFD2 DB. Scroll through all of the databases
contained in the PFD2 and confirm that the correct databases are loaded.
