APPENDIX A
SD Card Use and Databases
The G500 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 database updates.
Jeppesen Databases
The navigation database is updated on a 28 day cycle. Navigation database
updates are provided by Garmin and may be downloaded from the Garmin web
site “fly.garmin.com” onto a Garmin provided Supplemental Datacard. Contact
Garmin at fly.garmin.com for navigation database updates and update kits. The
Navigation database is stored internally and the Datacard is only used to transfer
the database into the unit.
The optional ChartView database is updated on a 14 day cycle. The ChartView
database is provided directly from Jeppesen. Contact Jeppesen (www.jeppesen.
com) for ChartView subscription and update information.
Updating the Jeppesen navigation database
1) With the G500 System OFF, insert the SD card containing the navigation
database update into the upper card slot of the GDU 620 to be updated (label
of SD card should face up).
2) Turn the G500 System ON.
3) Verify the correct update cycle is loaded during power-up.
