Hi All,
I need to do a one time terrain and obstacle database update on a Garmin GPS-500 however the terrain card is not compatible with Jeppesen's Skybound hardware. I was wondering if anyone has a Garmin USB Data Card Programmer (P/N: 010-10579-00) that I could borrow just for the one time...
What type of Jepp subscription does your company have? Sometimes companies will tailor them for certain things like runway lengths, etc. Just thinking out loud...
I don't know of a GPS or FMS that asks for the desired radial to hold on, but I suppose that may be useful. Our FMS in the CJ3 asks us for the inbound course. In the case of a hold with an assigned radial, that would just be the reciprocal value.
You want to set the inbound COURSE when selecting the OBS. With a COURSE of 180 set, you will be given GPS course guidance along the 360 degree radial.
See 61.159, 1500 TT. If you can't make that within 2 years of July 2014, then you will likely have to take the ATP CTP prior to the knowledge test.
