FlyBy Nav Data Files

Updating from an older data file? Please download the "FlyBy Data Restore" application to restore your user waypoints.

FlyBy Nav Data:

The U.S. data supplied is compiled from the US NFDC. Effective 25 JAN 2001. The Canadian data was compiled from Natural Resources Canada, effective 04/11/1999.

The data files are VERY large and demand a lot of resources from you Palm. The largest file, USPrivate+PublicAirportsPDB, contains 27852 records. Please pick the smallest file you think will meet your needs. The smaller files allow the program to load and run faster. The largest files may take up to an hour to install! If you are going to use the larger files please read the following: HotSync® and FlyBy DB Files

- Only public US Airports are included. Except for "USPrivate+PublicAirportsPDB.zip".
- Airports with runways less then 3,000' were not included in the Canadian airport data.
- US Naviad contains most navaids except TACAN, VOT, FAN and CONSOLANs.


Installation Instructions:

Download the file you need and then unzip it. Each of these "zipped" files contains two FlyBy Nav data files that are required for the program. FlyByWyptDB contains the bulk of the waypoint information. FlyByCityDB is the city name index file. If you have installed the CASL conduit please use the CDI files (blue column).

You can not install more than one file set in your Palm.

Please read the FlyBy Nav Users Manual for more information about installing the program and data files.

CASL Conduit users simply copy the CDI files into the CASL directory (in your Palm User directory) and perform a HotSync®.

Non Conduit users need to use the FlyBy Delete application to remove FlyByCityDB and FlyByWyptDB from the Palm device before installing new PDB files (green column). Use the HotSync® install manager to copy the files into your Palm device.

Note: If you are updating an existing waypoint database, please use the "FlyBy Data Restore" application to restore your user data waypoints after installing the new files.

Note: If you would like to update the data files in your Palm to a different data file set, be sure to delete the original FlyByWyptDB and FlyByCityDB files (using the FlyByDelete application) before installing the new ones. Conduit users installing CDI files will not have to delete the Palm files prior to HotSync®.

FlyBy Data Restore

Click to download: UserRestore.zip (54 KB)

FlyBy Nav keeps a separate data file called FlyByUserDB which contains waypoints that you have input yourself, or waypoints that you have edited. Anytime you selected "Save" (after viewing a waypoint or inputting a new one), a copy of the waypoint data was saved in this file. This feature was created so that you could restore your own waypoints back into a completely new waypoint data base.

"FlyBy Data Restore" will copy your user waypoint file into a new main waypoint file.

Using FlyBy Data Restore

Install "UserRestore.PRC" into your Palm device.

When you run the program, the first screen will show you how many duplicate waypoints are in your UserDB file.

The first thing you should probably do is press [View User Data]. You will then be able to view all the waypoints that are in your UserDB. You will also be able to delete any that you no longer require.

The [Insert] function will only copy waypoints from your UserDB that are unique. It will not overwrite any new waypoints.

[Confirm Duplicates] lets you view each duplicate waypoint so that you may choose to overwrite the new waypoint with your old data or skip the insertion.

The [Replace All] function will simply copy all of your UserDB back into the main data file and will overwrite any waypoints that have the same identifier.
