I purchased a demo Sportsman from Glasair and shipped it to where I live in Cape Town, South Africa. It is very well kitted out as an IFR aeroplane and has a 4500 advanced deck and a 3400s as the second screen, all integrated with a 430, and an AFS autopilot etc.
It's working brilliantly, but I just have two issues I still need to get sorted after the move from Seattle and the intervening time since the system was last updated there:
1. I need to bring the software up to the latest appropriate for each unit. I think I have the procedure understood, but just want to make sure what version is the one I should be downloading and installing for each of the screens (I guess it's the same for both?).
The key config info for each unit is as follows:
4500s:
Ser No>: 61330
SW: S8.6.22-MV15 (Feb 10 2012)
Keys: MAP AOA SVN
Map File Version 15 Africa (Jeppesen)
Map vector file : Version 3 Loaded
Map Terrain File Loaded
3400s
Ser No>: 61347
SW: S8.6.4-MV15 (Jul 12 2011)
Keys: MAP AOA SVN
Mapping Status : Map File Not Found
2. I updated the maps by downloading the Africa maps via the AFS site, and purchased the third file from Jeppesen as required. After loading the three files onto the SD card (in the root), the maps display perfectly on the 4500s, but if I insert the same card into the 3400s it continues to display "No Map File". The three files are the following:
AF2TERAF.AFM
AF2VECAF.AFM
AFSMAPAF.AFM
They are from the _V15 update.
Both screens have the MAP AOA and SVN keys.
I would be grateful for your guidance so I can get 100% up to date and then take it from there!
Many thanks
Mike
