CHARTVIEW CYCLE NUMBER AND EXPIRATION DATE

The ChartView database is revised every 14 days. Charts are still viewable during a period that extends from the cycle expiration date to the disables date. ChartView is disabled 70 days after the expiration date and is no longer available for viewing upon reaching the disables date. When turning on the G1000, the Power-up Page indicates any of nine different possible criteria for ChartView availability. See Table 8-1 for the various ChartView Power-up Page displays and the definition of each.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

NOTE: A subdued softkey label indicates the function is disabled.

The ChartView time critical information can also be found on the AUX - System Status page. The database ‘CYCLE’ number, ‘EXPIRES’, and ‘DISABLES’ dates of the ChartView subscription appear in either blue or yellow text. When the ChartView ‘EXPIRES’ date is reached, ChartView becomes inoperative 70 days later. This is shown as the ‘DISABLES’ date. When the ‘DISABLES’ date is reached, charts are no longer available for viewing. The SHW CHRT Softkey label then appears subdued and is disabled until a revised issue of ChartView is installed.

Press the DBASE Softkey for scrolling through the database information. Scroll through the database with the FMS knob or ENT Key.

The ChartView database cycle number shown in Figure 8-33, ‘0619’ is broken down as follows: 06 – Indicates the year 2006

19 – Indicates the 19th issue of the ChartView database for the year

The ‘EXPIRES’ date “05–OCT–06” is the date that this database should be replaced with the next issue. The ‘DISABLES’ date “14–DEC–06” is the date that this database becomes inoperative.
