Subject: Database Update Hung at 99%??
Posted: 23 Aug 2015 at 4:16pm
Here's a new one (I think):
I was updating the nav database in my IFD540. I was using a reformatted USB memory stick that contained the July 21 database downloaded from Jeppesen.
Everything seemed to be proceeding as usual until I got to the 99% done point. Then, the installation would not proceed beyond 99%. The little airplane kept going back and forth but the progress bar was stuck. A message at the top of the screen said "Updating Nav Database, Copying Airway Labels to Map".
It stayed that way for about 10 minutes. At that point I powered off the system using the aircraft master switch and then turned it all back on again.
The IFD540 booted up normally and now displays that the new database has been installed. There are no error messages. However, I have not flown it yet.
So what's up with that? Was I too impatient? Is the database loaded OK?
A not-very-good iPhone photo is attached.
Thanks
Mike
