Earl Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 OK, so I got my 430 upgraded to WAAS and I am trying to update my database the first time since and JSUM will not recognize the card. I have looked on control panel and it is installed and seems to be running properly in the USB slot. Any suggestions? Could Garmin have screwed something up when they had the unit. Did I screw up sending the data card in with the unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Is the card recognized by the PC? Also, I wonder if the WAAS units require a different database subscription. Have you contacted Jeppesen to find out if this is the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you contacted Jeppesen to find out if this is the case?I The card is recognized by the PC. I went to Control Panel and Jepp shows up under the USB where it is plugged in. Got a PM from another MooneySpace member and I need a new subscription. That is probably the problem as the WAAS data card is different and with my current subscription it won't recognize the card. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well I finally did what was suggested and called Jepps and sure enough the reason JSUM didn't recognize my data card is it was looking for a non WAAS version. So I updated my subscription to WAAS, which costs a little more than the non WAAS, and will try to update tonight when I get home. Silly me to assume that the database was the same for WAAS and non WAAS and the vertical information was in there and just didn't display on a non WAAS 430. Should have asked the avionics shop when I picked the plane up but it had a current database in it so I didn't even think about it. Lesson learned........again....

carusoam Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Common issue for the updating to waas G crowd. Especially if you have two radios but only one is waas. Their ability to X-talk is limited as well... BK doesn't have this problem.......yet.... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have made you purchase a new SD card for $225!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'd be an optimist but I just know it would never work out..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 OK, so it was a success. Now all that's left is to get out with my friendly CFII and fly some GPS approaches with vertical information. Am looking forward to seeing how it all works.

Piloto Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Once you go LPV, you'll never go back! +1 on that. Specially when coupled to the autopilot. LPV steers my AP down to 100ft on centerline hand off. LPV opens many runways to precision approach that didn't exist before without the cumbersome installation of an ILS ground station.

rbridges Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 went through the same thing. Garmin was pretty easy to deal with in the transition. It's only money, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
