A8B43F - According to FAA it is a CL-600-2B16 not a GLF2

Chris,

I presume you are still using the original database as A8B43F isnt included in the new Navdata.

It is now and it is N660FA, Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A, c/n 5025, Island Management Services LLc.

Hi Alan

Should I be using the new database. I thought that was only for people that do not update their information from the network.

Chris,

The only thing I can say it that given that you have old data, possibly yes.  The new aircraft with no previous data on your computer will come through but I presume where a registration has previous entries, the old data is not deleted or over written and will remain incorrect or out of date.

I presume that unless you enter the new information manually, because you have the old data for N660FA on your computer, it will remain and will not be over written by the new data entered yesterday.

To check, given that N660FA has been added to the database following your notification yesterday, if you have carried out a populate since, has the new data auto-populated for this aircraft?

At the end of the day, if you are happy to stay with the original database and make you changes and additions as they occur who am I to say otherwise.  Enjoy as you wish.

Thanks Alan - I think I will stick with my "old data" What I did do a while ago is delete all the photos which "forces" a refresh of the information. In the case of N660FA there was no image and the new data was not in the database so it would not have refreshed. As you have now put the data in the next time it appears it will get the new data.

I think I must regard this as the exception and not the norm.

I have too many local amendments in my database to use a new one. Because ATC do not have Mode S in Africa there is no "policing" of codes here and a large number of local aircraft have incorrect codes. I don't want to loose those.
