1.5 Databases
1.5.1 Coverage area
The internal Terrain and Obstacle databases include terrain, charted man-made obstacles,
airports, and heliports.
The Terrain and Airport databases are provided by geographical area. The coverage area of
the database installed in the ST3400H is shown as part of the sign-on screen after a power
cycle.
Remember, there is no guarantee that every obstacle is charted or that every charted obstacle
is in the terrain data.
1.5.2 Keeping the databases current
Updates to the databases can be obtained from the Sandel web site and loaded into the
equipment using a Windows loader program and a laptop computer. This is done through a
high-speed USB port located on the front right corner. Loading instructions are supplied
along with the applicable database.
The databases can be updated during normal maintenance to the helicopter.
