Warning! I believe I found a data error in the BOWIE 3 arrival to DFW in FMS database. Flying into DFW with the new BOWIE 2 arrival in the FMS we selected Runway 36L. It would not give us the arrival to SILER only to HIKAY with a 160 heading out of HIKAY. If you read the ball note #2; this is the procedure is for props landing north. I believe the FMS somehow is reading the prop data only. We tried putting in Runway 35C to see if it would make a difference and it did not. We requested vectors and Regional Approach gave us vectors for the ILS to 36L with no problems. We need to get this looked at ASAP. Maybe it is only this aircraft but I think it will affect all FMS's.
An air carrier jet FMS database listed only the DFW BOWIE 2 propeller arrival so the flight crew requested vectors for their arrival.
