I often hear from other pilots about observed errors in databases in various GPS and FMS systems
Especially in SID's and STAR's where a combination of fly-over and fly-by waypoints are used.
I have tried several times to report observed database erros to the hardware supplier and also to the database supplier (Jeppesen) but nobody cares about the database errors and they are left for months and years without anybody correcting the errors.
I would like to hear from other pilots weather or not the experience occasional database errors and weather or not they have had succes reporting it.
Thank you.
