A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. The background map built into this unit is not intended for navigation and its accuracy has not been verified. government sources which rely on ground and aerial surveys and satellite data. [. . . ] You can store your present position, the cursor's location, or enter latitude/longitude positions as waypoint locations. The Jeppesen database contains airport, VOR, NDB, and intersection locations, plus pertinent airport data such as com frequencies, runway information, and services (fuel availability, repairs, oxygen, etc. ) You can also create routes composed of any airport, VOR, NDB, intersection or your own waypoints in any combination. Aviation Database To use the database, first press the WPT key. This moves the black box to the "USER WPT" label at the top of the screen. Pressing the right arrow key repeatedly switches to each of the database screens in the order shown at the top of the next page. 38 USER AIRPORT VOR NDB INT To find a particular airport, VOR, NDB, or intersection, first switch to the appropriate database. Suppose we're planning a trip to Fort Smith Regional airport in Fort Smith, Arkansas. There are three ways to find this airport in the AirMap's database. You can find it by searching through the airport identifiers (ID), airport name, or city. In this example, we know the airport identifier is FSM, so we'll highlight the "ID" label by pressing the down arrow key once. The screen at the top of the next page appears next. 39 Select the first letter in the identifier by pressing the up or down arrow keys until the letter "F" appears in the "ID" field. Again, press the up or down arrow keys until the letter "S" appears. Finally, press the right arrow key one more time, moving the selector to the last number in the "ID" field, then press up or down arrow keys until the letter "M" appears. You can find an airport by using the airport name (name) or city fields the same as the ID field. Simply move the black box to the desired label, then use the arrow keys to select the name. After you've found the airport, press the EXIT key. At the bottom of the screen is the airport's elevation, which in this case is 469 feet. Beneath this is the airport's position, and at the very bottom of this screen in the distance and bearing from your present position to the airport. Communication Frequencies To view the communication frequencies used at the selected airport, press the down arrow key and move the black box to the "COMM FREQ" label, as shown at right. The screen shown at the top of the next page appears. 40 This is the communication frequencies screen. In this example, all applicable com frequencies for Fort Smith Regional airport are shown. Also, this airport has more frequencies that can be shown on one page. Press the left or right arrow keys to view the rest of the radio information. Runways To view the runway information, press the down arrow key on the airport database screen shown at the bottom of the previous page until the black box is on the "RUNWAYS" label, then press the right arrow key. The active runways available at the time of your database are shown in the center of the screen. In the example screen shown above, runway 7 - 25 has a hard surface, is 8000 feet long and 150 feet wide. To view the data for the other runway, press either the right or left arrow key.
