KGP 560/860 CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS AND
DATABASE UPDATE PROCEDURES
Normal maintenance activities performed on the KGP 560/860 should
follow standard industry maintenance practices. System maintenance
practices may included updating the Terrain, Obstacle and Runway data-
base. Other maintenance practices, such as re-programming the
Configuration Module, are addressed in the KGP 560/860 System
Installation Manual. Database load procedures and database update
cards are exclusively supplied by Bendix/King Avionics.
The KGP 560/860 database is contained in a removable card installed in
the top of each unit. It is up the KGP 560/860 customer to determine if a
specific database is applicable to their operation. Honeywell estimates
that the KGP 560/860 customer will update their database approximately
once per year. Information regarding new releases and the content
details of the database may be obtained via the internet at the following
sites: www.bendixking.com and www.egpws.com.
Please see the following section, KGP 560/860 Product Support, for con-
tact information to order database updates.
If possible, clearance to the top of the KGP 560/860 should be provided
to facilitate removal and installation of the terrain database card. The
terrain database card is removed and installed with power NOT
APPLIED to the system. The KGP 560/860 computer may be removed
from the aircraft to extract and install database cards if the mounting
location does not provide enough clearance.
Updating the terrain database is accomplished by:
1. Moving the soft plastic cover over the database card out of the way.
2. Pressing the card ejector button located within the unit.
3. Removing the old database card.
4. Inserting the new database card and replacing the cover. Be sure to
align the arrows on the database card and KGP 560/860 computer.
If possible, mount the KGP 560/860 computer such that the above can
be accomplished without requiring disassembly of the aircraft or removal
of the KGP 560/860 computer.
