Navigation Database Tools

Navigation databases include 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 Aerospace FMS are currently available from three data suppliers.
