[. . . ] Different information appears on the information screen depending on what kind of map object you have selected. Earlier, we had an example of a VOR information screen, complete with radio frequency and Morse identifier. 47 In the AirMap, airports have information screens packed with useful information. They include much of the same information as a VOR information screen. In addition, airport information screens contain a line drawing showing the general layout of the airport's runways. Also, note that the radio frequencies listed at the bottom make a much longer list. You can press at the information screen to scroll down and see all of these frequencies. When you first open the airport information screen, you'll see "Go To" highlighted at the bottom. You already know how to use GO TO and FIND ON MAP, but airports have two more options: RUNWAYS and SERVICES. Airport information screen. Runways The Runways screen shows you everything AirMap knows about the runways at the selected airport. Display boxes contain the runway surface type, its length, its width and the lighting available. Runways screen at left, with Extend option select. Center, map shows the fan-shaped Runway Extension north of the airport. At right, you can see where the runway extension begins at the very end of runway 18L. At the runways screen you can press or to cycle through the airport's runways. In the previous image, you can see we've selected 18L, so all of the information shown refers to that particular runway. The previous images show not only the information available on this screen, but also the Runway Extension feature. To turn on a runway extension, use or to select the desired runway, then make sure the 48 box at the bottom of the screen says "Extend" next to the runway name. (As long as we have sufficient information about it in our database, AirMap can display a runway extension for any runway. ) Press ENT and the unit will ask "Do you want to setup Runway Guidance?" Press to NO|ENT. The runways screen will go away, returning you to the airport information screen. Now you can press EXIT|EXIT to see the runway extension on the map. Runway guidance selection message. Runway extensions are meant to serve as visual references to help you orient the plane as you approach an airport for a landing. The extension appears as a fan-shape, with its tip pointing directly to the touchdown zone or threshold of the runway you're approaching. This allows you to navigate toward the wider end of the fan, so once you turn down the extension you can easily judge how far you've got to touch-down. To turn off an airport extension, press MENU| to CLEAR RUNWAY EXT|ENT|EXIT.
