APPENDIX B
SD CARD USE
The G1000 System uses Secure Digital (SD) cards to load and store various types of data. For basic flight
operations, SD cards are required for terrain database storage as well as aviation database updates.
AVIATION DATABASE
Jeppesen aviation databases are released every 28 days, and are provided directly to the pilot by Jeppesen.
Updates must be loaded to both the MFD and PFD using an aviation database update SD card provided by
Jeppesen. The card reader downloads the aviation database files and stores them in the PFD and MFD internal
memory.
NOTE: The display downloads the aviation database and stores it internally. The aviation database SD card
is not required to remain in the display after the update.
Updating the Jeppesen aviation database:
1) With the G1000 System OFF, insert the aviation database update SD card into the top card slot of the PFD (Label
of SD card facing left).
2) Turn the G1000 System ON. This prompt is displayed on the upper left corner of the PFD:
3) Press the ENT Key to confirm the database updated. This prompt is displayed:
4) After the update completes, the PFD starts in normal mode. Remove the aviation database update SD card from
the PFD.
5) Turn the G1000 System OFF.
6) Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the MFD. The MFD and PFD aviation databases are now updated.
7) Verify that the correct update cycle is loaded during startup of the MFD.
