jn_carter 6 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hi, I'm using the Aerosoft A320 in combination with NavDataPro and I just cannot make the MCDU display the secondary navigation database (it show's 0 no matter what). The NDP tool uses AIRAC 1704 as backup (primary is 1706). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted May 30, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 30, 2017 As you only have NavDataPro installed, there simply is no second navigation database on your system. If you would have also Navigraph installed the bus would detect it and offer it as secondary database in the MCDU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jn_carter 6 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Thanks for the answer although it doesn't make any sense. On a real airbus the primary navigation database uses the current AIRAC 1706, the secondary navigation database would read AIRAC 1705. It's not a matter of who provides the database, the secondary db always uses the previous AIRAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted May 30, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 30, 2017 Well, I have just explained to you how it is implemented in the Aerosoft bus. It might be possible to fake a Navigraph database by putting your older NavDataPro cycle into the Navigraph folder. I have never tried to do that.
