SYSTEM OVERVIEW FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS EIS Appendix B system compares all copies of each applicable database. If similar databases do not match, the most recent valid database is automatically copied to each card in the system that does not already contain that database. The following databases are checked and synchronized: Navigation, Basemap, Safetaxi, Obstacle, and Airport Directory. ChartView and terrain database files are too large to synchronize automatically. These databases must be copied directly to each Supplemental Database Card to be intalled in the bottom card slot of the PFD and MFD. The synchronization progress may be monitored on the Database Status Screen on the Touchscreen Controller (Figure B-7). This screen shows the synchronization status of each applicable database as follows: • 'Sync in Progress' with percent complete and time remaining • 'Sync Complete' • 'Sync Error' While database synchronization is occurring, 'Sync in Progress' is displayed along with percent complete and time remaining. When the synchronization is complete for the selected PFD1, MFD1, or GTC1 Databases Status Screen, the status is listed as 'Sync Complete' (Figure B-8). The synchronization status is only present when a synchronization is occurring or has occurred on the current power-up. An indication of 'Sync Complete' still requires a power cycle before the synchronized databases will be used by the system. To view database status: 1) From the Home Screen on the Touchscreen Controller, touch Utilities > Setup > Avionics Status. 2) If necessary, touch the Database Tab. The Touchscreen Controller shows a list of displays on which databases reside. 3) Touch a button from the list to view database information associated with that display (MFD1, PFD1, GTC1). 4) Scroll through the database information to view database status.

If synchronization completes for one display, but an error occurs for another, the error message will be displayed on the Databases Status Screen for the affected display. When an error message appears, the problem must be corrected before the synchronization can be completed. A power cycle is required to restart synchronization. 582 Garmin G2000 Pilot's Guide for the Cessna T240 190-01263-01 Rev. A INDEX
