OBTAINING A DATABASE
Before obtaining a database, the operator will need a computer with internet access, a SmartMedia card reader/writer,
a SmartMedia card (16Mb minimum,
formatted FAT 16), and a subscription
for username and password, purchased
from Chelton Flight Systems. Currently a
one time update is $159, and an annual
subscription is $1140.
The operator can obtain
each update by logging on to the CFS website,
downloads page at www.cheltonflightsystems.com/FlightLogicCertified/login.asp
. From this web page, the operator
will input the username/password and select the Navigation and Obstruction databases.
The databases are contained in
compressed, self extracting, executable
files. The operator may save the compressed
file to his/her computer for transfer,
or copy from the internet directly to
the SmartMedia card. The Navigation database is called "Navdata.exe" and the Obstruction database is called "Obst.exe". Proper transfer of the data
will show "Navdata.exe" and/or "Obst.exe" files on the SmartMedia card.
Mozilla and Netscape Web Browsers may
add to the file name and the Chelton IDU
will not recognize the file.
Rename the files if needed.
WARNING: Double-clicking on either of these files will open them up and extract the data to the SmartMedia card
or the computer.
Accidentally extracting the data will not harm the computer, card, or data still contained in the executable file, but may fill up the SmartMedia card or add unwanted files to the computer. If this happens, erase the data that was extracted
and delete all files on the SmartMedia card and re-copy the database back on.
Once the data is on the card, the card can be removed from the reader/writer and taken to the aircraft.
Be sure to "Safely Remove
Hardware," if using OS other than
WIndows XP, by using the icon in the
taskbar. See your reader/writer
instructions for more details.
