NDB Explorer
NDB Explorer creates aircraft loadable media, supports efficient procedure validation, and provides a top-down graphical lateral path of the procedures, airways, and company routes in your navigation database.
Navigation Database (NDB)
This database includes navigation data required for airline operation over defined route structures. The database includes waypoints, terminal and en route navaids, airport data, airway data, Standard Instrument Departure routes (SIDs), Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs) and transitions as well as ”tailored” airline data such as company routes defined by a specific customer for a selected geographic area.
Navigation Databases for the GE Aviation FMS are currently available from three data suppliers. Click Here to view contact information for these data suppliers.
