Jeppesen JeppView 3 - Manual (Page 178)

RoutePacks and Route Planning
181
Whenever you create a route, you must have a RoutePack in which to contain the
route. You can create a RoutePack in any of three ways:
• RoutePack Wizard
• Drag-and-drop method
• RoutePack Properties dialog box
IMPORTANT
JeppView is not designed as a route planner. The routing features
in JeppView help collect Jeppesen terminal charts for a route. If
you need extensive route planning features, please use FliteStar,
JetPlanner, or
contact a Customer Service Representative for
information about additional options.
Creating a RoutePack and Route by Using the RoutePack Wizard
The RoutePack Wizard guides you through the creation of a RoutePack, the first
route for the new RoutePack, and alternate routes.
TIP
The RoutePack Wizard opens when you first start JeppView unless you
disable it. To re-enable it, select the Show this Wizard at Startup check
box, after opening the RoutePack Wizard.
To create a RoutePack using the RoutePack Wizard:
1. Open the RoutePack Wizard by doing either of the following:
• Click Tools > RoutePack Wizard.
• Click the RoutePack Wizard icon on the Chart toolbar.
2. Enter the airport identifier (ICAO or IATA), airport name, or airport city name
for the first route in the RoutePack in the Departure and Destination
airport fields.
• When the system recognizes the airport identifier, it displays the
airport name to the right of the field.
• If multiple matches occur for what you type in, the TAB to select wpt
prompt appears. Press TAB to open the Select an Item dialog box. In
the Select an Item dialog box, select the appropriate waypoint from
the list.
o
Click OK to enter the selected waypoint into the referring field.
o
Click Info to open the Properties dialog box for the selected
waypoint.
Departure and Destination are required fields. After you enter both airports,
a green dashed line in the Enroute Charts view depicts the proposed route.
