Narrative:
Final arrival turn at aml instead of shaki. During buck 5 arrival to dca, read back and executed final turn of 180 degrees at aml. ATC later said turn was for shaki. The reason I am submitting this as soon as possible is because the F100 database has the end of the arrival at aml. This led to the wrong readback. The F100 FMC appears to have many examples of an incomplete database. Arrs that do not have the final heading turn, approachs that do not have all the fixes (ord runway 9L), and lga approachs that are not in the database and have to be built normally (stl-dca). This certainly increases pilot workload and has the potential for decrease in safety.

Title: F100 CREW HAD TRACK DEV IN DCA CLASS B AIRSPACE.
Narrative: FINAL ARR TURN AT AML INSTEAD OF SHAKI. DURING BUCK 5 ARR TO DCA, READ BACK AND EXECUTED FINAL TURN OF 180 DEGS AT AML. ATC LATER SAID TURN WAS FOR SHAKI. THE REASON I AM SUBMITTING THIS ASAP IS BECAUSE THE F100 DATABASE HAS THE END OF THE ARR AT AML. THIS LED TO THE WRONG READBACK. THE F100 FMC APPEARS TO HAVE MANY EXAMPLES OF AN INCOMPLETE DATABASE. ARRS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE FINAL HDG TURN, APCHS THAT DO NOT HAVE ALL THE FIXES (ORD RWY 9L), AND LGA APCHS THAT ARE NOT IN THE DATABASE AND HAVE TO BE BUILT NORMALLY (STL-DCA). THIS CERTAINLY INCREASES PLT WORKLOAD AND HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR DECREASE IN SAFETY.
