DETAILED OPERATION
Step 2. Selecting item from chosen database
Screen 16: Item Selection Screen
On entry to this Screen you will find the cursor positioned over the first letter of the first
item in the selected database.
If AIRPORTS, VORs, NDBs, INTs or AIRWAYS was selected on Screen 13, the first item
in the data entry box on screen 16 is AREA:. This is an area filter, which can be set to a
specific ICAO country or area code. If set to EG for example, only items in British airspace
will appear in the list. Similarly, if set to LF, only items in French airspace will be
displayed. In the USA, the airspace is sub-divided into seven areas known as K1 – K7.
The area filter can again be set to any of these areas (see APPENDIX C for a full list of
country and area codes).

RATION
If the area filter is set to ALL DATA, all the data from the selected database contained on
the memory card for the entire area covered will appear in the list.
If AIRPORTS was selected on Screen 13 the cursor will be positioned over the word
ICAO:. Airports may be selected by ICAO code, airport name or associated city name and
in addition, once an airport has been selected, a particular runway threshold at that airport
can be selected. If you wish to select an airport by name or associated city name, use the
joystick to move the cursor down to name then right to the first character. If you wish to
select a specific runway threshold, move the cursor down to R/W then right to the word
NONE. Moving the joystick up or down will now allow you to select a specific runway
threshold (if threshold information is available for that airport in the Jeppesen database).
When selecting names, use the joystick to scroll the initial letters through the alphabet.
Once the required initial letter has been selected, move the joystick to the right and repeat
the process. In this way you can scroll through all the items from the selected database,
narrowing your search field. If you move the joystick to the left, the cursor will also move
left one step, allowing you to make another selection.
On this Screen, Key 5 labelled MORE INFO gives additional information about the selected
item.
When an airport is selected but no runway, the entry into your flight plan will be the name
displayed followed by the airport's ICAO code. When a runway is selected, the entry into
your flight plan will be the airport's ICAO code followed by the runway ident. For example, if
you select runway 32L at Goodwood, the entry to your flight plan would be EGHR 32L.
