Navigation Database
The 500W Series unit database card must be installed. (IAW the TSO
deviations granted to Garmin for the 500W unit, navigation database cards
may not be marked with the part number. The software automatically
precludes invalid databases for use by the 500W)
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 500W Series units are prohibited,
unless the 500W 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 500W 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 500W Series unit supports Terrain or TAWS (optional) and requires a
Terrain database card to be installed in order for either feature to operate.
The table below lists compatible database cards for the 500W 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.
