#Honeywell nav database update update#
Every month when you receive an update from Honeywell, you no longer have to spend hours in front of a computer loading multiple floppy disks to get the data you need.Duncan Aviation can complete this installation, including paperwork, in less than a day. Honeywell’s DL-950 and DL-1000 are designed as form-fit replacements and use the existing mount and connector. DL-900 operators don’t have to worry about a lengthy installation and extended downtime on their aircraft.This process can eliminate loading errors commonly associated with floppy disks and can save you some serious time waiting on the ground during your next trip. With Honeywell’s USB loading, you can load new approaches into your navigation database in as little as 10 minutes. Floppy disk loading (which is going away) requires several floppy disks and takes quite a bit of time to load new approaches every month.The DL-950 or DL-1000 is covered by HAPP. In addition, the DL-900 is no longer covered by the Honeywell Avionics Protection Plan (HAPP). And since you need up-to-date navigation information, you need to look for a solution. Many companies, including Honeywell, will no longer support these units after December 31, 2016.Floppy disk technology is just plain old.If you fall in that category and use a Honeywell DL-900 data loader, there are five very good reasons to look at upgrading to the DL-950 or DL-1000.
