DATAbASE MANAGEMENT
The 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 Jeppesen navigation and Jeppesen ChartView database
updates. Not all SD cards are compatible with the G1000. Use only SD cards supplied by Garmin or the aircraft
manufacturer.
GARMIN DATAbASES
The following databases are stored on Supplemental Data Cards provided by Garmin:
• Expanded basemap
• Terrain
• Airport terrain
• Obstacle
• SafeTaxi
• FliteCharts
• Airport Directory
(AOPA)
After subscribing to the desired database product updates, a personal computer is used to copy these updated
databases to the Supplemental Data Card which will reside in the bottom card slot of the MFD (this is also the
card that contains the FliteCharts or ChartView database). This allows taking all applicable databases to the
airplane on one card and using the G1000 system to update the remaining display Supplemental Data Cards.
Figure B-1 illustrates the correct location of the Supplemental Data Cards and their respective databases. Since
these databases are not stored internally in the displays, these Supplemental Data Cards must remain in the
bottom card slot of each display.

The basemap database contains data for the topography and land features, such as rivers, lakes, and towns.
It is updated only periodically, with no set schedule. There is no expiration date.
The terrain database contains the terrain mapping data. The airport terrain database contains increased
resolution terrain data around airports. These databases are updated periodically and have no expiration date.
The obstacle database contains data for obstacles, such as towers, that pose a potential hazard to aircraft.
Obstacles 200 feet and higher are included in the obstacle database. It is very important to note that not all
obstacles are necessarily charted and therefore may not be contained in the obstacle database. This database is
updated on a 56-day cycle.
