With each waypoint, FliteDeck displays:
• The course to the waypoint.
• The distance to the waypoint.
• The cruise altitude/crossing altitude or field elevation.
• SID/STAR or airway number (when applicable)
The cruise altitude for a given waypoint is the desired cruise altitude for the leg from
the previous waypoint to the given waypoint. The cruise altitude appears bold if you
manually set this altitude.
The crossing altitude for a given waypoint is the approximate altitude at which the
planned route is calculated to cross that waypoint (based on aircraft data from
FliteStar, if you are using a RoutePack from that program, or based on the
performance of a typical light general aviation aircraft. The crossing altitude appears
bold if you manually set this altitude.
At the departure and destination airports, the field elevation is displayed in place of
the crossing altitude.
NOTE
When GPS or simulator position information is available, FliteDeck
automatically scrolls the waypoint list to keep the active waypoint in the
second position.
Disable the auto-scroll by clicking a waypoint in the list, the "...more"
button at the top or bottom of the list, or the up/down keys. To restore
the auto-scroll, tab to another page.
The Chart Component
You can build routes using either the Chart or the Enter Waypoint text box. JeppView
FliteDeck’s chart, like a paper enroute chart, provides aeronautical information to
assist in planning and flying your route. On the Plan page, you can click waypoints
on the chart to create and edit routes visually. On the Enroute Nav and Emergency
pages, the chart provides situational awareness as you fly your planned route.
NOTE
The information about moving around the chart applies to the enroute
chart component on all other pages that display an enroute chart except
the Emergency page.
Move in and out on the chart by zooming, and horizontally and vertically by panning
or scrolling.
Use the same procedures to move around enroute and terminal charts. Movement on
a terminal chart is called scrolling, because the chart is a fixed size, similar to a
document in a word processing program. Movement on an enroute chart is called
panning. It differs from scrolling in that the chart is a more-or-less unlimited size.
