Downloading a Region

To download the core information for a Region (VFR/IFR Mega Maps, ERSA and DAP pages), tap an area on the map and select Download from the menu.

This will begin the download for all relevant information that you’re subscribed to for that Region.

Note: By default the individual VTC, VNC, ERC L, WAC charts are not downloaded as these are all contained in the MegaVFR and Mega IFR Enroute Low charts.

• If you wish to download these charts as well:
  • tap the map type selection at the top of the page (VTC, VNC etc):
    
  • tap on the box(es) for the charts you wish to download.

Depending on the current download status, the colour of the Region changes as follows; (see above for examples)

• Clear when no data has been downloaded (as per New Zealand)
• Light grey when this Region has been previously been requested, but is not currently saved (as per South Australia)
• Yellow when the Region is currently being downloaded (as per Queensland)
• Orange if the Region is only partially downloaded (as per Northern Territory)
• Light Green when the Region is set to Leave to Expire (as per Western Australia).
• Green when all core information in that Region has been downloaded and saved to the device (as per South East Australia).
  

When new data is available, the red button appears at the bottom-right of the screen.

• Tap this button to download new data for all Regions previously downloaded.
• To cancel a download in progress, tap the small blue square inside the download progress circle, or tap Cancel All.
• To hide the Current Downloads view, swipe the window to the right.
  

Downloads in process

AvPlan EFB will periodically prompt you to update if a Region is not fully downloaded. To stop this occurring, either all data for the Region must be deleted (see 10.2), or the update for the Region must be completed.

Once it has been deleted, the region will display as clear and you will not be prompted to update it again.

If AvPlan makes repeated requests or attempts to download data for a Region without your input, it will be caused by the Region having been inadvertently selected for data download at some previous time. If this happens, the Region will be shaded light-grey rather than clear. To prevent further unwanted download attempts, all data for the Region must be deleted.
