Create SID, STAR and APP procedures

[cptburgos 1]

Hello everyone...

Due to the lack of database for the GNS 430, it is possible create our own database to flight with lastest published procedures?.

Thanks

Unfortunately no.  The GPS is based on a Garmin application, so you will need to be a Garmin subscriber to have the latest db.

Hi Folks,

The databases are real world Garmin databases and prohibitively expensive for FS use...

Here's the link: https://fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/support/pricing

Double check here before making the purchase to insure it's the right package...

Regards,
Scott

Even if you were willing to spend the $$, it's not clear that it's even possible to make a purchase without owning a 430 or 530.  The last time I looked into this, a purchase had to be tied to the serial number of an actual registered physical unit.

That is true if buying from Garmin. I own real world a real world 750/650 in my Mooney and get my regional database from Jeppesen. I can't recall ever having to produce evidence of ownership when I originally ordered. If you were prepared to spend the money for a sim application then that may be an alternative.

Ah, thanks David.  That's good to know.  I never thought of checking through Jeppesen.

BTW, seriously jealous of your Mooney with 750/650!

Edit: Just checked prices and Holy Schnikies!  It's worse than I thought.  $595 for US only, and an additional $745 to add Canada and Alaska!  Certainly not out of line if you're actually using the RW avionics, but a bit nuts for sim use only.

Doesn't surprise me - I have a Pacific regional database for not much less than that. Throw in Chartview subscription, G600 subscription as well and you're looking north of 1k a year. Hate to think what world coverage would cost - but then, if you have an aircraft that requires world coverage, then you should be able to afford that!
