to ensure database integrity against a current navigation data source.
       13.6 Any discrepancy in data in the operator's navigation database must be:
(a) reported as soon as practicable to the navigation database supplier; and
(b) resolved, before further operational use, by:
 (i) reissue of the database; or
 (ii) prohibition of the route; or
 (iii) instructions to the flight crew.
       13.7 Without affecting the operator's obligation under paragraph 13.6, any discrepancy in the operator's navigation database that is likely to lead to a hazardous condition arising through either loss of separation between the aircraft and terrain, or obstacles or loss of separation between aircraft, must be reported in accordance with the Transport Safety Investigation Regulations 2003.
       13.8 If an event occurs in relation to a navigation database that is referred to in subregulation 2.3 (3) or regulation 2.4 of the Transport Safety Investigation Regulations 2003, it must be reported in accordance with that subregulation.
       13.9 If the current AIRAC cycle of a navigation database changes to the next AIRAC cycle while an aircraft is in flight, the aircraft should continue to use the original AIRAC cycle navigation database for the remainder of the flight.
       13.10 Subject to the limitations in paragraphs 13.7 and 13.8, a navigation database that is not current, or will not be current for the duration of a flight, may be used for navigation provided any data used for navigation is verified before use from a current navigation data source. A navigation database that is not current must not be used for radio updating of a navigation system.
Note 1   A current navigation data source can be either current maps, charts or other sources of navigation information provided by supplier meeting the requirements of subparagraph 13.3 (a). An Electronic Flight Bag that is current is an acceptable reference source for navigation database verification.
Note 2   Inertial systems (INS or IRS) may be used without radio updating provided that the conditions and limitations for inertial only operations are complied with.
       13.11 An aircraft that is not operated with an MEL may operate for a period of not more than 72 hours from the time that the database expires.
       13.12 An aircraft that is operated with an MEL may operate for up to 3 Flight Days from the time that the database expires.
       13.13 Manually entered data in a navigation system must be checked for accuracy by 2 flight crew members.
       13.14 In the case of a single-pilot operation, manually entered data in a navigation system must be checked against other aeronautical information, such as current maps and charts carried in the aircraft (see Note 1 to paragraph 13.10).
