InSight Databases


InSight includes a range of required and optional databases to meet your aircraft needs and flight requirements. Databases include: Terrain, Obstacle, Navigation Reference, Airport Mapping supplied by Universal Avionics, and the Electronic Terminal Charts (eCharts) supplied by Jeppesen. Databases are downloaded using the Universal Avionics custom-designed Data Download Tool (DDT), a Microsoft® Windows® based PC tool. InSight databases are uploaded into the system via Secure Digital (SD) memory card through the ANK, which incorporates an SD card slot.


The DDT is available as a download from the UniNet Online Portal. A UniNet account is required to use the DDT.

 

Terrain Databases


The Terrain database is comprised of three sub-databases:

  1. Terrain Elevation: Displays 3D terrain renderings and the caution and warning color bands
  2. Terrain Coverage: Displays water and ice coverage
  3. Cultural Chart Features: Displays urban area outlines and political boundaries
The terrain database is released every 84 days. The contents are updated only as-needed, therefore download times will vary.

Note: The Terrain databases are shown as three individual downloads in the DDT.
