Loading FMCs via 3.5 inch discs
Would anyone be able to pass me details of the correct procedure to load the Nav database through 2 discs onto the 747-400? I assume you load one with the other FMC breaker pulled and then cross-load? I'm not sure of the sequence for cross-loading.
This is for a Sim where the original instructions are lost and there is nobody else round here to show me the drill.
Many thanks

AMM: 34-61-00-472-100 for data loading using a data loader
AMM: 34-61-00-472-103 for the cross loading procedure
On the data loader select FMC L, plop the disk in, after 5 minutes or so CHNG will light up, put the other disk in and wait until COMP is shown.
Deselect the loader and remove the disks.
Trip the FMC L and R CBs on P7, count to 10, put in the CB for the FMC L which should have the new NDB.
When FMC L has restarted put in FMC R CB and wait for it to start - it should come up with the crossload page on the CDU R
On CDU L go to the Maintenance page (INIT - INDEX - MAINT) select CROSSLOAD
Type ARM in the scratch pad on both CDUs
On CDU L select the line TRANSMIT
On CDU R select the line RECEIVE
It should then transfer - make sure the FMC master switch is selected to L and the Capt + FO source select switches are on the L + R respectively beforehand.
Go to the IDENT page to check the software.
