"Downgrading" From Jepp databases

Post by nworthin »

I got the Jeppesen option on my DA62. Mainly because I was using Jepp charts in another of my aircraft. I'm planning to sell that other aircraft now. And, because I find I almost never use the Jepp charts on the MFD (using Foreflight again), I think I prefer to downgrade to Garmin databases on the G1000 and keep both gov't and Jepp on Foreflight only.

Does anyone know the process to do this? My Jepp renewal date is coming up soon and I want to make sure I'm not left stranded for lack of legal charts/navdata.

I think I did this, but without thinking about it very much. I just did my next update via the Garmin site instead of the Jeppesen site, and that was that.

That's what the guys from Garmin told me. So much easier dealing with them than Jepp!
