I’ve just purchased a used SR20, all glass. Does anyone have any information on the database updates for the Avidyne EX5000C? Specifically, I am trying to find out if a USB thumb-drive can be used as the “portable data loader” device, or if I am required to use an Iomega drive.
If I need to purchase the Iomega drive, can anyone tell me where I can get the “approved” model, or will any Iomega ZIP drive work?

Craig,
You really should join COPA, there is a lot to it’s membership, not the least of which is the introduction to a lot of great people that share your interest.
However, you asked a question and I’ll be happy to answer you whether you join or not.
No, you can not use anything other than a “usb powered” zip drive. 100mb or 250mb drives will work. The key is making sure you get one that is usb powered and does not need a power adaptor plugged into it.
If you have Emax (most likely you do) then you can also use a blank disk to download your engine data as well.
Rick is correct in saying that it must be a ZIP drive, you can use a 110 pawered, but buy the USB it is way easier, you must also format the disk to FAT, FAT 32 will not work. Do join the members side, it is a huge wealth of inforamtion, I save more that 50 bucks just reading it.
I’ll join the welcoming chorus! You’re fortunate to be based at an airport with a very knowledgeable Cirrus Service Center (Airways). We’ve had work done by them and have been well pleased.

I have not had any work done there, but have heard great things about Airways as well. [:)]
