August 4, 20196 yr Fellow simmers, Greeting!!, I am thinking of buying the Ovation 1) How do i UPDATE the database ( Airports, Waypoints, SIDs, STARS) if I do NOT install GTN750 ? 2) Does the Autopilot panel have a functional VNAV button? Best Regards Hari
August 4, 20196 yr Hi Hari, The Alabeo Mooney M20 Ovation has a GNS530 with a TERR button instead of the VNAV button. I believe the real GNS 530 has a VNAV button from the pictures I've seen. The GNS 530 reads the default data from the flight simulator and cannot be updated far as I know. The auto pilot had an "ALT" button with a UP/DN rocket switch and a separate altitude selector with a digital display. Let me know if you have any more questions. John Cottreau Specs: black box thingy with spinning fans, lights and a bunch of wires that go to screens with pretty colours and a keyboard with many keys. The black box thingy also has a push button activated coffee cup holder. John C.
August 5, 20196 yr Author Thank you John What about updating the database to get more current SIDS/Stars Etc? Does it use AIRAC from Navigraph? Best Regrds Hari

Best Regrds Hari Hi Hari, A GNS 530 - doesn't have airways so no SIDS/STARS - that's one of the best features of the newer GTN's (the addition of airways)... You can update the Garmin Trainer database if you use a product like RXP or F1 - but you need a cost prohibitive (hundreds of dollars) real world database to make it work... Regards, Scott
August 5, 20196 yr Author Thank you Scott, Looks like if i buy this, the only way to get a "semi " current (SID/ STAR , airways etc, as current as last Jeppessen's update is) is to go the route of GTN750/650. Best regards hari
August 5, 20196 yr You could probably use fsaerodata or similar to update the database. But, this is a Mooney after all. How often would you need to load a SID/Star in a Mooney? ATC would likely vector you away from other traffic anyway. Just my thoughts.
