JEPPESEN dATABASE INFORmATION
The aera includes an internal Jeppesen ® database that provides location and facility
information for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs, and more. Updates to the Jeppesen
database are available every 28 days online (www.fly.garmin.com). The update program
is designed to operate on Windows
® -compatible PCs and requires the included USB
cable to connect your aera to the PC’s USB port. The following information is provided
from the internal Jeppesen database:
• *Airport—identifier, facility name, city/state/country, latitude/longitude, field
elevation, available fuel types, runway designations and layout, runway surface,
runway length, runway width, runway lighting, communication frequencies, and
published approaches.
• Weather—frequencies associated with an airport (ASOS, ATIS, and AWOS).
• *VORs—identifier, facility name, city/state/country, location (latitude/longitude),
frequency, service volume (high, low, terminal), and type (such as VOR-DME,
TACAN, and VORTAC).
• *NDBs—identifier, facility name, city/state/country, location (latitude/longitude),
and frequency.
• Intersections—identifier, nearest VOR, radial and distance from nearest VOR,
location (latitude/longitude), and region/country.
• ARTCC—Air Route Traffic Control Centers.
• Airspace—boundaries (Class B, Class C, Control Zones, SUAs, and MOAs),
controlling agency, and vertical boundaries.
• FSS—Flight Service Stations.
* Symbology used for NDBs, VORs, and airports is consistent with those used on a
sectional chart.
NOte: After performing a Jeppesen database update, verify all flight plan
(routes) are current. If there is a obsolete Jeppesen aviation point in a saved
route, the route is locked and unusable. A new route with current Jeppesen
database points will need to be created.
