FliteDeck Principles

Since you can use FliteDeck on a variety of computers, the program is highly

configured through the FliteDeck Setup program (see

FliteDeck Setup

).

You may have a keyboard available to operate FliteDeck or you may use a mouse to
click on screen buttons, windows, and components. On touch screen or pen tablet

PCs, you tap or touch the screen instead of clicking with a mouse. Throughout this
guide, the word click means the same as tap, or touch. Similarly, point and drag
refer to equivalent actions performed with a mouse, pen, or touch screen.

Pages and Components

The FliteDeck interface consists of pages and components. A page is like a tab in

your Airway Manual. Pages display information pertinent to a particular phase of
flight, such as route planning, terminal chart viewing, or enroute navigation.

A component is a sub-window within a page. It can be a large portion of the page

(such as a terminal chart), or a small box (latitude/longitude information). It can
also be a button that controls some part of the program (zoom buttons).

Using Pages

In the FliteDeck Setup program, you choose which pages to display in the program,
from two pages in the Chart Viewer to six with GPS input. Each page has a

corresponding button. In the EFB-style configuration the buttons are ranged across
the top. In the standard notebook computer style configuration they run in tab
format down the left side:
