Overview GPS Navigation Flight Planning Hazard Avoidance Additional Features Appendix C 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. Appendices Index 190-01117-02 Rev. A Garmin aera 500 Series Pilot's Guide 133
