Appolo GX 55 database loading

Post by snellbob »

Does anyone have a Jeppesen G1 Skybound database card loading adapter? Years ago you just called them up and they sent you a new card and you sent your old one back. Now it takes this adapter and you download the current data from Jepp.
I cannot find the G1 Skybound anywhere and am trying to do the new database before they reduce the runway lenghts on next cycle.
Thx

I don’t have one. The last time I updated I just took my card to them at Oshkosh and they did it there for me. Not sure what aviation trade shows are around you, but that might be an option.

Your local small-airport avionics shop might have one to lend. They've moved on to more sophisticated things....but they usually keep such old "tools" and will lend them out.

Thanks for the replies. Most shops in the area no longer have the adapter. Too old of box and not enough money in it. I’ll keep looking though.

I've got a Garmin GNC 250XL I'd like to update but need a USB loader/adaptor to borrow. Anyone?
