Database Update: MAPS Pocket FMS

[Franz-Bavaria]

hello all,
does anyone have a tip for me please: I bought all the necessary licenses from Pocket FMS. I can't get rid of this error message: "DATABASE NO LONGER CURRENT" Which map is missing here?

Thanks for your help and support.
Best regards,
Franz

I suggest reaching out to the EasyVFR folks, they usually are very supportive. You always have to update two data sets, av_data and ob_data. You have certainly read this document here: http://www.pocketfms.com/Dynon/Checklist.pdf

You get this when the chart data expires (it's on 28 day cycle). I normally get an email from Pocket FMS when new files are available with link to download the AV (Aviation) and OB (Obstacles) data but, if not, you can login to PFMS and follow the EFIS links. These should be copied to your USB drive which goes into SV. You then upload each to SV via >setup>load files.

The second bit is the airfield data. You get this via EasyVFR- you download the catalogue, select which countries/files you want to download then copy these to the USB drive as with AV and OB. However, unlike with AV and OB, these don't have to be uploaded to SV but reside on the USB drive which must stay plugged in to SV.

It's not the most user-friendly process but, once you've done a few times, you will get the hang of it and it's not too bad.

I appreciate your responses very much - thank you for your effort.

I have one request with Pocket FMS - I will get back to you when I have solved the problem.
