YSWS airport not in icao database

Featured Replies

Hi,

I need a bit of help.

I have flown in to YSWS (the new Sydney airport) today and noticed that if I try and call up the airport map on the ND, the window is blank. I.e. ANF shows nothing.

If i move the ND mode knob to Plan and then Zoom in and click the double arrow icon the table of airports are displayed. If i search for YSSY or NZAA for example when ICAO is selected, those airport charts do display on the ND, however if I try and enter the ICAO code "YSWS" in the airport selection field, the table with the ARPT SEL tab shows the following "Not in ICAO database".

How can this be fixed or updated?

I have a Navigraph subscription and the aircraft correctly shows the latest airac cycle in the MCDU. The OIS also shows the correct cycle loaded. I have also tried updating the Navigraph database and resetting Navigraph credentials but none of this fixes the missing airport chart. The flight was successful following STAR and ILS approach charts into this airport.

Can you pls check to see if you see the same behavior for this airport and what can be done for it to be added to the database?

Note: This is not the usual Airport Not Available error.

I beleive that the airport entry is missing from the AMDB (please confirm) but I believe this is maintained by Navigraph and not Inibuilds.

Thanks!

Mark
