be accomplished in lieu of or in addition to an official flight check. Whenever possible,
flyability checks should be conducted by instructor/evaluator pilots. Flyability checks

8.10. Procedure and Database Problem Reporting.
8.10.1. Despite the best quality control measures, it is still possible for aircrews to
discover errors in databases, instrument procedures, charts, etc. If you discover a
discrepancy or a discrepancy between two sources (ex. procedure pulled from aircraft
database differs from paper IAP), report the discrepancy to your unit
Standardization/Evaluation function. They, in turn, should report the details to the source
of the database or procedure. All sources of databases, instrument procedures, charts, etc.
have established procedures for reporting errors. Procedures and points of contact vary
by vendor and organization and are located in the documentation that comes with the
particular product.
