Working with Terminal Charts
Normally FliteDeck starts with an Airport (Runway) Chart for the selected airport, or
the last chart you were looking at if you've already viewed charts from that airport.
Displaying a Chart for the First Time
A displayed chart is any chart presented on the Terminal page. How FliteDeck is
configured when it is initially installed determines how the terminal chart is
presented. For example:
• When the application's height is greater than the width (portrait), all terminal
charts display in single view with the full chart displayed.
• When the application's width is greater than the height (landscape), terminal
charts display in split view. If the chart is geo-referenced, the plan view of the
chart displays in the upper component and the chart header displays in the
lower component. If the chart is not geo-referenced, the complete chart
displays in the upper and lower component.
When you change certain attributes to a displayed chart, when you open a new chart
it will also be displayed in the same format. For example, if you are in a portrait
configuration and change the display from single view to split view, the next chart
you open also displays in split view.
The one exception to this behavior is if charts are added to the Clipboard without
first being viewed. In this instance, the Clipboard charts use the current setting at
the time they are added.
The next time you open FliteDeck, it automatically defaults to the last view setting
used for the displayed chart and opens all new charts in that manner.
Charts with Revisions
Electronically updating terminal charts follows the same rules as updating terminal
charts with a paper subscription. When you receive a CD in the mail or download an
update from the Internet, the charts in that update are effective immediately upon
receipt. There are a few exceptions where Jeppesen issues a chart before the
effective date. FliteDeck uses your computer clock to determine when a chart
revises.
Terminal chart changes fall into one of two categories:
• Changes effective immediately upon receipt of a CD or an available Internet
download — Most chart changes fall into this category. When viewing an
airport's terminal charts in FliteDeck, the revision date for each chart displays
in the terminal chart list. The date may be a day or two in the future, but the
chart should be used as long as there is no indication that it is to be added or
replaced on a specific date.
The terminal charts listed in the image below were downloaded on 03 May
2006. The date specified for the charts - 05 May 2006 - is the revision date.
Because there is no indication that they are to be added on 05 May 2006, the
charts are effective upon receipt and appropriate for use during flight.
