Flight Management, Navigation -FMC Preflight
737 Operations Manual
Database activation is accomplished by pushing the proper date range prompt to copy that date into the scratchpad. The scratchpad date may then be transferred to the ACTIVE database line. The previous active date moves down to the inactive date line.
The ACTIVE label appears above the active navigation database date. No label appears above the inactive navigation database date. The navigation database date can be changed only on the ground. Changing the navigation database removes all previously entered route data.
When an active database expires in flight, the expired database continues to be used until the active date is changed after landing.

Displays the effectivity date range for the inactive navigation database.
Supplemental Data (SUPP DATA)
