Notice

Navigation databases are compiled from official State sources by Jeppesen and Lufthansa Systems and supplied to Collins Aeronautical Data Services for the purpose of packaging a database compatible with Collins Avionics.  The end-user is reminded that according to FAA AC20-153B dated April 19, 2016, “The ultimate responsibility of ensuring that data meets the quality for its intended use rests with the end-user of the data.”

Each cycle, every effort is made to ensure the data passed on to our customers is of the highest quality, containing the most up to date, complete and reliable information available. However, it is the end-user’s responsibility to; pre-flight their navigation database, reference appropriate NOTAMS and Flight Alerts including those from Jeppesen, Lufthansa, the FAA, Collins and other state aviation authorities and any other applicable publications pertaining to the user’s flight operations from the appropriate websites or publications.

The end user has the ultimate responsibility to ensure data requirements are met and to verify the navigation data loaded in their FMS is current and valid for the intended operation. If an error, omission, or inconsistency is discovered, the end user should notify Collins so that the issue can be investigated and/or forwarded to the appropriate navigation data supplier. The correction of data content issues cannot typically be resolved until the following AIRAC cycle, at the earliest.
