Navigation Database 

The 400W Series unit database card must be installed. (IAW the TSO 
deviations granted to Garmin for the 400W unit, navigation database cards 
may not be marked with the part number. The software automatically 
precludes invalid databases for use by the 400W) 

 

a)

 

IFR enroute and terminal navigation is prohibited unless the pilot verifies 

the currency of the database or verifies each selected waypoint for 
accuracy by reference to current approved data. 

 

b)

 

GPS instrument approaches using the 400W Series units are prohibited, 

unless the 400W Series unit’s approach data is verified by the pilot or 
crew to be current. Instrument approaches must be accomplished in 
accordance with an approved instrument approach procedure that is 
loaded from the 400W Series unit database. 

 

c)

 

Installations with dual 400W/500W Series units will only crossfill 

between units when they contain the same database cycle.  Updating of 
each database must be accomplished on the ground prior to flight. 

 

2.4

 

Terrain Database 

The 400W Series unit supports Terrain and requires a Terrain database card 
to be installed in order for the feature to operate.  The table below lists 
compatible database cards for the 400W series. Each of the data base cards 
contains the following data: 

 

a)

 

The Terrain Database has an area of coverage from North 75° Latitude 
to South 60° Latitude in all longitudes. 

b)

 

The Airport Terrain Database has an area of coverage that includes the 
United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America, and South America. 

c)

 

The Obstacle Database has an area of coverage that includes the United 
States, and is updated as frequently as every 56 days. 

 

NOTE:  The area of coverage may be modified as additional terrain data 

sources become available.
