That's what I thought. I read your statement as the operator having the ability to add data directly to the aircraft database without having to involve Honeywell.
I think the discussion about EGPWS is a bit of a red herring as in the described aircraft configuration, no warning would have been given even if Black Rock had been in the database as the system would have assumed the crew were making an approach to land on the helipad - low speed, gear down.
