Not correct always a jepp database in the fms, honeywell just tailored the data for the aircraft specific requirements. ie MD11 fx1 or A300 fx3,fx5,fx6 etc. Now we use LIDO data.
Sorry I guess I wasn't real clear. My point was that with JEPPS the data was given to Honeywell and recoded for the specific fms. With LIDO the charts and fms data come from the same source. Less chance of anything being lost in translation
