Lucy’s Logbook: Ensure database accuracy with Aviation Data Alerts
This site provides pilots with reliable, up-to-date information regarding the contents of any of our aviation databases. Alerts may include information such as inaccurately published holding procedures or incorrect altitude depictions. These listings should be checked prior to each flight to ensure your departure, enroute, and destination airports are not affected by any alerts.
In the event a portion of the navigation data has been intentionally excluded from a database, Garmin offers a secondary list to detail those items.
This data is generally much longer-term and is derived by how our GPS units use a database’s information, whether that information is accurate or not. A typical scenario here would be withholding vertical guidance capability from an RNAV (GPS) approach. Ultimately, the excluded data on this list is generally due to the software or system limitations of our GPS units and the data may be added at a later date through a software update.
Inaccurate database content is continually discovered by government originators, our data suppliers, GPS manufacturers, and you, the end-user. By checking all applicable alerts, you can be certain that not only is your data current but accurate. And in the event you want to challenge yourself with the VOR RWY 24 in KTEB or do some sight-seeing and swing into KGCN, ensure that you check the published alerts on Garmin’s Aviation Data Alerts website!
