About JeppView FliteDeck

JeppView FliteDeck is designed for use in an aircraft while the aircraft is flying. Proper use of FliteDeck can enhance positional awareness, assist with in-flight replanning, and provide valuable information for normal and emergency operations. Because FliteDeck is used during flight, the cockpit interface is simple and easy to use:

• FliteDeck eliminates the normal menu you would find in most Windows programs. Tests have shown these types of menus are difficult to use in the cockpit during flight.

• FliteDeck contains no pop-up windows to block your view of essential information on the screen.

• You cannot resize the FliteDeck window during use. FliteDeck uses a fixed amount of space on the screen.

• You configure FliteDeck with a separate setup program, which eliminates extra distracting buttons and menus in the program itself.

• FliteDeck includes a GPS simulator trainer so you can learn the program before trying to fly with it.

• FliteDeck displays current weather by using your XM WxWorx Weather Satellite™ service to enhance situational awareness.

Version 3.4, Released JUNE, 2008

Topics New Features and Improvements

Microsoft Windows

Vista

The release of version 3.4 incorporates two changes:

• Settings previously stored in the [application].ini files are placed in the registry during installation or moved to the registry during an update.

• The 3.4 installer places files in directories compatible with the Microsoft Windows Vista file directory structure. If you have already installed JeppView on Windows XP and 2000, you will not see any change to file locations.

If you are a current Windows XP or Windows 2000 user migrating to Microsoft Vista and would like to know where common files will be stored, see Microsoft Windows Vista Compatibility Mode and Microsoft Windows Vista Folders.

Satellite Weather

A new feature has been implemented that allows the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) to initialize XmLink only when FliteDeck launches. To enable the feature, open the Services Console and place JWC in the Manual Startup option. See Advanced Configuration of JWC for additional information.

Enroute Map and Terminal

Chart Only Components

Within the Enroute Nav page and the Terminal page, you can access an Enroute Map on a larger view and a Terminal Chart Only component with only the essential action buttons. These components now display if they were viewed before switching to another page. The application no longer defaults back to the Enroute Nav main page and the Terminal main page when changing pages.

Fixes


17

Satellite Weather

Installation

Various improvements have been made to the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) installer:

• Fixed a "VGA Resolution Error" message when trying to install the Jeppesen Weather Services on a tablet PC in portrait mode with a resolution of less than 800 x 600.

• The JWC installer will always update the XmLink.ini file to have the SaveX01=1 key value regardless of what application first installed XmLink. This helps with the problem when WxWorx on Wings® , or another application that uses XmLink, is installed and overwrites the registry entry. To fix this occurrence, run the JWC installer and select the Repair Service Installation option to add the SaveX01=1 entry to the 3rd party XmLink file being used. This allows weather to appear in FliteDeck. The installer will also remove Jeppesen's XmLink directory and files to help eliminate confusion on which XmLink is being used.

• During an uninstall of the Jeppesen Weather Controller, the registry key is not deleted if a 3rd party version of XmLink is being used.

• Improved the JWC installer so that XmLink is re-installed during a Repair Service Installation option if the registry key is missing or is not pointing to a directory that contains an XmLink.exe file. This is so FliteDeck weather will work again if the registry key was removed (uninstalling WxWorx on Wings), and Jeppesen's XmLink was not installed because WxWorx on Wings was installed first.

Display of Terminal Charts

Fixed the clipping of some terminal charts when they are rotated.

Version 3.3, Released MARCH 26, 2007

Topics New Features and Improvements

Installation

The Electronic Chart Data (ECD) discs received in the mail have been restructured where you must install ECD Disc 1 and 2 to receive updated information for your terminal charts, program updates, navigational data, and text data. If you update the data electronically, you are not impacted with the CD update method. Recommended Topic: Updating from CD.

European VFR Charts

Added European VFR Charts (Bottlang charts). The visual approach charts cover 2,100 airports and aerodromes in 29 European countries. You have the option of ordering VFR coverages by country or by geographic regions. You may choose between services that offer only VFR charts, only IFR charts, or both VFR and IFR. Call Jeppesen Customer Service to order.

Satellite Weather Incorporated satellite weather by using your XM WxWorx Satellite Weather service. FliteDeck now displays Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD), Aviation Routine Weather Reports (METARs),


18

Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), Terminal Area Forecasts (TAFs), City Forecast, Cloud Tops, Winds, Surface Analysis, and Freezing Levels. Recommended Topic: Satellite Weather and Satellite Weather Preferences.

Text Information

Text pages are now provided in XML format rather than PDF which makes searching and accessing both IFR and VFR information much easier. Pilots can search keywords, bookmark pages, zoom and scroll to quickly find text-based information. If you have a European VFR subscription, the text for the Bottlang Airfield Manual becomes available. Recommended Topic: Viewing the Text Pages.

Airport Information

Restructured the Airport Information page to help make the information easier to find and read. Textual weather information has also been included. Recommended Topic: Viewing Airport Information.

New GPS Status Indicator

Added a new GPS status indicator (GPS: Invalid) to help troubleshoot when a connection is not available. Recommended Topic: The GPS Status Indicator.

Fixes

Saving Enroute Chart Selections

All your enroute chart settings are now saved when FliteDeck closes to keep your preferences the next time FliteDeck launches.

Reverse Routing Fixed a crash that occurred when attempting to reverse a route that had a SID or STAR attached.

Latitude/Longitude Entries

The Enter Waypoint text box accepts latitude and longitude entries without a decimal point (ex. N4330W124.0 and N4530.0W124) to insert and append to a route. Recommended Topic: Entering a Waypoint by Latitude/Longitude

Obstacles Obstacle symbols display correctly in Course Up tracking mode.

Enroute Chart Data

Fixed land areas incorrectly attributed as water.

• Usedom Island - Baltic coast of the Germany/Poland border

• Various small Baltic Sea Islands belonging to Finland

• Schouwen Island - Rhine delta in the Netherlands

• Reunion Island - Indian Ocean near Madagascar

Microsoft Windows Vista Compatibility Mode


29

If you are currently using a version of FliteDeck that is not Vista aware (version 3.3 or lower) on a Windows Vista machine with the compatibility mode feature, we recommend that you turn off the compatibility mode and update the application with the Vista aware Electronic Chart Data (ECD) Discs or electronically through the Internet.

The Windows Vista Compatibility mode feature redirects some files and folders to other areas of your computer. For instance, if you are a standard user and cannot write to the C:\Program Files folder, it will redirect the files and place it in the C:\Users\[User Profile] folder. Windows Vista gives the application its own private copy of the file in the user profile, so the application will function properly. When files are moved randomly, the Vista-aware Jeppesen applications might not be able to find the files needed or place additional files on your computer, increasing the amount of space required on your computer. It might also reduce application performance and cause application conflicts.

For additional Windows Virtualization issues, visit Microsoft on the Web at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/927387.

Try these steps to turn Windows compatibility mode off:

1. Ensure that all Jeppesen applications are closed.

2. Right-click the Jeppesen application icon on your desktop.

3. From the shortcut menu, click Properties.

4. Click the Compatibility tab.

5. Clear the Compatibility mode check box if it is selected.

6. Click OK.

7. Insert the Vista aware Electronic Chart Data CDs or update the application electronically.

Starting FliteDeck


40

To start FliteDeck, do one of the following:

• Click Start > Programs > Jeppesen > JeppView FliteDeck3 > FliteDeck3.

• Click the Jeppesen FliteDeck icon on your desktop.

The first time you open FliteDeck, the Setup Interview guides you through some initial settings. For more information about the FliteDeck Setup program, see FliteDeck Setup.

Opening Warning

Each time you open JeppView or FliteDeck, you see a warning with the effective date of your Electronic Chart Data, the issue date of your terminal chart data, and the cycle number of your Electronic Text Pages. Check the dates carefully. When the data becomes obsolete, the fonts on the warning change color:

• For NavData cycles, red signifies the data has expired and an update is needed to ensure safety of flight.

• For terminal chart cycles, the next issue date is highlighted in gray with the number of days until, or after availability. You must ensure that you are flying with current flight information, and comply with all FARs regarding pre-flight planning and required or recommended flight information. It is recommended that you update your chart data as soon as possible.

To skip the warning message in the future, select the Don't show this warning again check box. As long as the data is current FliteDeck opens without displaying the Welcome dialog.

When the data goes beyond the effective or recommended dates:

• The warning message appears regardless of the Don't show this warning again check box selection.

• The Don't show this warning again check box is unavailable.

You are responsible for the accuracy of your flight plans and navigation information, as well as the currency of your data. You must satisfy yourself that this information is acceptable before using it for your operations. Click I understand and accept this warning to start.


41

NOTE FliteDeck uses your computer clock to determine your data status. Ensure that your clock reflects the accurate date, time and time zone. To update your data, see Keeping Your Programs Up-to-Date.

Expanding your Regional Coverage Area Contact a Jeppesen Customer Service Representative to request a new coverage or multiple coverages. After you have contacted Jeppesen, you can add the new coverage area to your subscription by using the electronic update feature or the Electronic Chart Data (ECD) Disc 1 and ECD Disc 2.

Adding Coverages Electronically

Please wait at least 30 minutes from the time you contacted a Jeppesen Customer Service Representative before initiating an electronic download of new regions. This gives the Customer Service system time to refresh your information in the Update Server.

To add the new coverage area electronically:

1. Close JeppView FliteDeck (if it is open), and open the FliteDeck Setup Program by clicking Start > Programs > Jeppesen > JeppView FliteDeck3 > FliteDeck3 Setup.

2. On the Configuration tab, click Get Update.

3. FliteDeck logs in to the Update Server, finds your new information, and adds the new coverage areas to your permanent subscription.

Adding Coverages from the Electronic Chart Data CD

You can add coverage areas to your subscription from the Electronic Chart Data (ECD) Discs. Contact Jeppesen to request the new coverage or coverages. You will receive a unique coverage code for each new region you are adding. The coverage code is only applicable to the ECD Disc 1 you have available (preferably the most recent). When you call Customer Service, tell the representative which terminal chart revision cycle you are using. The cycle number is recorded on the Electronic Chart Data CD label in this format: 08-2005, representing the revision number (08), and the year (2005). Regional codes change every two weeks, so a code for the wrong cycle does not work.

To add new coverages from the ECDs:

1. Insert the current ECD Disc 1 before it expires.

2. Click Start > Run and type d:\setup.exe (where d: is the letter of the CD-ROM drive).

3. On the Coverages screen, select the I have additional Coverage Codes check box and click Next. Setup displays the box to type additional codes.

6. Follow the installation prompts in ECD Disc 2.

Deactivating JeppView and FliteDeck Because you may need to use FliteDeck on a notebook computer in addition to your desktop computer, your license agreement permits this, as long as you are the only person using the program(s). If more than one person needs to use the software, or if you otherwise need additional site keys, you can purchase them by calling Jeppesen Customer Service.

Notwithstanding the notebook computer exception to the single-computer license, if you need to move FliteDeck or the NavSuite products from one computer to another, you must first deactivate the program on the computer from which you are removing it; otherwise you may not use it on the new computer.

After you have activated FliteDeck or the NavSuite Products on the maximum number of computers, you can deactivate one of them and move it to a new computer by following one of the methods below:

• Uninstall the program, and choose Yes when the deactivation wizard asks if you would like to deactivate JeppView or NavSuite. See Removing JeppView and FliteDeck.

• Locate and run the deactivate.exe program in the folder containing your FliteDeck files. If you installed FliteDeck within the default folders, it can be found in one of the following locations:

o C:\Program Files\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7)

o C:\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3 (Windows XP)

NOTE If you are using FliteDeck within the NavSuite, deactivating FliteDeck also deactivates the other NavSuite products on the computer.

If the deactivation wizard presents a list of programs to deactivate, select FliteDeck or NavSuite and follow the on-screen instructions:

1. Read the warning to ensure you really want to deactivate FliteDeck or NavSuite. Select the check box and click Next.

2. Select how you want to deactivate FliteDeck or NavSuite (we strongly recommend selecting the Automated method if you have an Internet connection), and click Next. If you select Automated, FliteDeck deactivates and a dialog box containing the deactivation information appears.

3. After your deactivation information has been displayed, you can install FliteDeck or NavSuite on the new hardware.


43

Although it no longer runs, FliteDeck or the NavSuite products are not uninstalled from the old computer. You can now install the software on another computer and follow the Activation Wizard. To reactivate the programs from a computer that previously ran them, open the program and the Activation Wizard runs again. If you do not plan to reactivate, you can uninstall the programs to save disk space.

Be sure to keep a copy of your serial number and site keys for each computer in case your hard drive fails or your computer fails and you have to replace it.

NOTE If you try to reactivate FliteDeck or NavSuite on this machine after activating them on another computer, or activate the products on a fifth machine without deactivating one site key, you will receive a message from the server that your site key limit has been exceeded. To purchase and activate additional installation of FliteDeck or NavSuite, please contact Jeppesen's Customer Service.

If FliteDeck is inaccessible, such as from a hard disk crash, contact a Technical Support Representative by phone or email for assistance.

Keeping Your Programs Up-to-Date

Program and Data Updates Your JeppView service includes a one-year subscription to electronic updates for JeppView and FliteDeck, Jeppesen terminal charts, enroute data and text information. Terminal charts and Airway Manual text update every 14 days; enroute data updates every 28 days. See

Jeppesen provides a 60-day grace period in which to update your Electronic Chart Data. After the grace period, JeppView and FliteDeck no longer display charts.

IMPORTANT The 60-day grace period allows continued access when you are away from your home base and cannot update by Internet or Electronic Chart Data CD. Charts should be used within the 60-day grace period only with great caution. You must ensure that you are flying with current flight information and comply with all FARs regarding preflight planning and required or recommended flight information. Jeppesen recommends that you use the Internet to update your chart data when you do not have access to the latest CD.

If you are interested in receiving CD updates by mail, please contact a Jeppesen Customer Service Representative for information and pricing.

Updating from the Internet FliteDeck provides the ability to update your terminal chart data, enroute chart data, Electronic Text Pages, and program electronically through an Internet connection.

Check your current version number and data effective dates by opening the FliteDeck Setup program and reviewing the information in the Configuration tab. It contains program version and information about your data (effective dates, coverage area, expiration dates, and cycle/disk number). You may want to check to see if your data is still current before checking for updates, however, it is not necessary. Items only appear in the update list if there are updates for the data on your hard drive. In order to obtain Internet updates, access to TCP/ IP port 1984 is needed.

Administrative permission to access the Jeppesen folder(s) is required when program updates become available, whether electronically or on CD. Permission to access the Program Data folder is required for navigational data updates, whether electronic (clicking File > Check for Updates) or by CD.

50

NOTE If you are interested in receiving ECD Disc 1 and 2 updates in the mail, please contact a Jeppesen Customer Service Representative for information and pricing.

The UpdatePack You might prefer to update your entire subscription only on your desktop PC, and then transfer the updated information to your in-cockpit computer using a USB memory device. This is the purpose of the UpdatePack. It gives customers with multiple machines an easy way to copy Jeppesen programs and data from one machine to another. Before creating an UpdatePack, read through the limitations to avoid complications:

• You can save an UpdatePack file anywhere; however, avoid keeping old UpdatePacks anywhere in the c:\Jeppesen folder. Any existing UpdatePacks that reside in this folder roll into your new UpdatePack, unnecessarily increasing the file size.

• The serial numbers of the Jeppesen software on the origin and target machines must match. Otherwise, the UpdatePacks will not transfer data. In the case of different coverages, the UpdatePacks still work.

• UpdatePacks work with the following software versions or later: FliteStar/Map v9.0, JeppView v3.0, and FliteDeck v3.0.

Creating an UpdatePack

1. Click Start > Programs > Jeppesen > Create UpdatePack.

2. Select the items to add to the UpdatePack. The disk space requirements appear in the bottom of the window. If the size for "selected products" seems over-large, check for previously saved Updatepacks in the directory. Delete any that exist and re-save the current data.


51

3. Type the Output filename for UpdatePack, including the drive letter if you specify to save to removable media (example: f:\cycle0xYYUpdatePack), or click Browse and find the drive and folder in which to save the UpdatePack.

4. Click Create.

Updating the Target Computer

Administrative permission to access the Jeppesen folder(s) is required when program updates become available, whether electronically or on CD. Permission to access the Program Data folder is required for navigational data updates.

To update the data on another computer:

1. Insert the media (CD, USB drive, and so on) containing the UpdatePack executable file (example: myUpdatePack.exe).

2. Open the CD or other media.

NOTE Windows XP may offer to open the media for you. If it does not, open My Computer and locate the media.

NOTE Windows Vista requires administrative credentials if the UpdatePack contains a JeppView program update. Administrative permissions are not needed if the UpdatePack contains only navigational, terminal chart, and text updates.

3. Double-click the UpdatePack executable (example: cycle10-09UpdatePack.exe). The UpdatePack dialog box appears with the following tabs:


52

• Welcome tab — Displays the status of the data on the target computer, compared to the data in the UpdatePack.

• This UpdatePack tab — Displays the contents of the UpdatePack file with the update cycle.

• This Computer tab — Displays information about the Jeppesen programs on the target computer, and which update cycle is installed.

• Problems tab — Only appears if problems exist with the UpdatePack, and states the problem.

4. To update the target computer, click Update.

Updating Terminal Charts Electronic updates follow the same rules as paper terminal chart subscription updates. When you receive a CD in the mail or download an update from the Internet, the charts in that update are effective immediately upon receipt.

As with the paper charts, there are a few exceptions when a chart becomes effective after the chart cycle effective date. In this case, continue to use the previous chart until the new chart's effective date.

For more information about terminal chart changes and how they are displayed in FliteDeck, see Terminal Charts with Revisions. A terminal chart availability schedule is also available at Update Cycle Dates.

To add a coverage area, contact a Jeppesen Customer Service Representative.

FliteDeck Basics

Screen Configurations Using the FliteDeck Setup Program, you can choose a FliteDeck configuration to fit your screen orientation (that is, either portrait or landscape aspect) with the Jeppesen Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) style layout and colors or your Windows color scheme. The different configurations are illustrated below.

Many tablet computers have bezel keys or buttons that allow you to change the computer screen orientation. The Windows menu path to change screen orientation is Start> Control Panel> Display> Settings tab> Advanced button> [your graphics card]> Graphics Properties button> Rotation.

The new Jeppesen Terminal Chart Viewer configuration, the third image below, is designed for portrait (height greater than width) with preset colors.

The FliteDeck Setup Program The FliteDeck installation includes a separate Setup program that allows you to customize FliteDeck’s configuration and options outside the FliteDeck in-flight operational program.

To open the FliteDeck Setup program, go to Start > Programs > Jeppesen > JeppView FliteDeck3 > FliteDeck3 Setup.

The Setup program also provides a Setup Wizard to help you set your preferences. Some pages and options may be hidden or displayed, depending on how you plan to use FliteDeck. For instance, if you configure FliteDeck for use without a GPS unit connected, elements that use GPS input are hidden, such as the Emergency page and flight navigation information (Supplemental Track Indicator, Flight Information Blocks).

View the GPS tab of the FliteDeck Setup program.


FliteDeck Basics

57

Within the Setup program, you can select which RoutePacks to display in FliteDeck, so you are not inundated with RoutePacks not applicable to the current flight. You can also select which FliteDeck features you want available during flight. Hiding the features you do not need makes the program simpler to use.

You can also customize the in-cockpit interface for your computer to specify whether you have a virtual keyboard, touch screen, pointer device, etc. Each configuration style and size uses the available screen dimensions with pages, components, and options that you specify. Selecting a different configuration may change the look of your FliteDeck program.

For more information, see FliteDeck Setup.

Working with RoutePacks FliteDeck exchanges data with other Jeppesen applications using a file called a RoutePack . You can save RoutePack files to flash or USB memory, email them, or otherwise move them to other computers.

Think of a RoutePack as a briefcase containing flight information for a complete trip. A RoutePack can include one or more routes, airports, terminal charts, waypoints along the route, and all airports associated with it. You can also use a RoutePack simply to store a list of favorite airports and charts.


58

You can plan a flight using FliteStar, JeppView, or JetPlanner, save your work to a RoutePack, and open the RoutePack in FliteDeck. If you are planning a flight on the same computer as you use FliteDeck, ensure that the Setup program Routes tab lists the RoutePack file, and open the FliteDeck program. If you plan routes on a different computer than you fly with, copy the RoutePack file onto a portable storage device (compact flash card, memory stick), and transfer the RoutePack to the flight computer.

For more information, view Routes and RoutePacks.

Using FliteDeck Without a RoutePack You do not have to plan a flight to use FliteDeck. You can use FliteDeck for terminal chart viewing and the moving map capabilities. FliteDeck provides a Clipboard feature where you can store all the charts needed for a flight and quickly navigate to them in the Terminal page.

You can also connect your GPS and use the moving map features available in FliteDeck. When FliteDeck receives positional information, an aircraft symbol appears on the enroute and terminal chart pages to increase your situational awareness. Even when a route is not available, if you are receiving GPS information, you can still do the following:

• Select a navaid on the enroute chart and use the direct-to capabilities.

• Find terminal charts for nearby airports.

• Use the navigational information on the Enroute Nav page, such as the nearest VOR

When a GPS is not connected or the GPS simulator is not used, certain pages that require positional information are disabled (see

, nearest Center, and nearest Flight Service Station (FSS).

GPS Tab).

Viewing Only Terminal Charts

Viewing Only Terminal Charts

If you use FliteDeck only for terminal chart viewing, then the Jeppesen Terminal Chart Viewer is the best display style, or "configuration", to use.

The Terminal Chart Viewer is designed for quick selection and viewing of IFR Airway and VFR Manual (Bottlang) terminal charts. Only airway manual terminal charts, airport information, and text pages are visible in this configuration. You assign airports to a clipboard, then select the charts you want to view in the clipboard.

The Terminal Chart Viewer is best viewed in the portrait screen orientation.

If you are using a USB-type GPS, or any type of PC-card GPS, be sure to install the software that came with that GPS before using it with FliteDeck. Use the testing features to help locate the COM port to which it is connected.

Select COM Port

From the drop-down menu, select the COM Port your GPS connects to. If you’re not sure, try different ports with your GPS operating and see which one works.

• You can also use the Windows Control panel System information to locate your ports. The procedure varies depending on your operating system.

• If the COM Port is not available, type it directly into the COM Port box using the format "COM#". Do not place a space between the word COM, and the COM Port number.

Override BAUD rate

If your GPS is working with FliteDeck, leave this setting alone.

If the baud rate of your GPS output is other than the default, select the Override BAUD rate check box, and then select the appropriate baud rate from the drop down menu or enter a BAUD rate. Consult your GPS manual for this information.

Testing Your GPS Connection

After you have selected the GPS manufacturer and model, use the testing features to ensure the connection is detected. Before trying to test the GPS connection, ensure the GPS is connected to your computer and turned on.

• Click Test Com and Baud to test for a GPS connection on the selected COM port and baud rate.

• Click Verify Com to check all common baud rates with the selected COM port.

• Click Find GPS to search all COM ports and common baud rates to find the connected GPS. The Find GPS test also selects the GPS manufacturer and model if a GPS is detected.

NOTE The GPS connection tests do not work while FliteDeck is running.

Bluetooth GPS Support

FliteDeck Setup

79

FliteDeck does not display Bluetooth GPS models in the Setup Program because they create virtual COM ports on the computer. A virtual COM port causes the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to your computer.

Bluetooth GPS units must be seen by the operating system exactly like a serial GPS. The Bluetooth adapter can be internal (as in a laptop) or external through a USB port. Your computer must first have all the Bluetooth drivers installed to use Bluetooth GPS units. Since Bluetooth drivers create a virtual COM port every time they are enabled, the virtual COM ports might change whenever the computer is restarted. If this occurs, you will need to run the GPS setup to re-detect the GPS again.

NOTE The following instructions were tested using Microsoft Windows XP.

To help FliteDeck recognize your Bluetooth device:

Install your Bluetooth drivers

Normally the drivers are supplied on a CD with your Bluetooth hardware. Windows XP Service Pack 2 also comes with Bluetooth drivers that can be used with some plug-and-play Bluetooth hardware.

1. Follow the device's user documentation to enable the Bluetooth connection on your computer. Make sure the GPS is powered on, and your computer is recognizing the GPS before continuing. One way to determine if your GPS is connected with your computer is to look in the Windows notification area where you should see a Bluetooth icon. The Bluetooth icon provides at-a-glance feedback about the Bluetooth status.

Connected

Enabled

Disconnected

2. Right-click the Bluetooth icon in the Windows notification area and choose Explore My Bluetooth Places.

3. In the My Bluetooth Places dialog box, click View > Tiles.

4. Enter the COM port value next to the connected Bluetooth device. If the COM port is not shown, right-click the device and choose Properties. The COM port will be listed in the COM Port drop-down menu.

5. Close JeppView FliteDeck if it is open.

Create and Check Connection


80

1. Open HyperTerminal to test and verify the COM port and BAUD rate by clicking Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal.

2. In the Connection Description dialog box, enter a unique name in the Name field, select an icon, and then click OK.

3. In the Connect using drop-down menu, select the COM Port that the Bluetooth GPS software has created, and then click OK.

4. In the Properties dialog box, select 4800 in the Bits per second drop-down menu. The other settings should be the same as shown in the image below.

Frequently Used Routes

Any RoutePack created in FliteStar, JeppView, JetPlanner, or FliteDeck and saved on the same computer as FliteDeck resides, is available for use. You might not want to see all of your RoutePacks during a flight, yet you might not want to delete them either.

The Frequently Used Routes list allows you to display only the RoutePacks pertinent to your current trip:

• To make a RoutePack visible in FliteDeck, select the check box next to the name of the RoutePack.

• To show all the saved routes in FliteDeck click Check All.

• To hide a RoutePack so FliteDeck does not load or display it, clear the check box next to the name of the RoutePack. RoutePacks hidden from FliteDeck are also hidden from other RoutePack-compatible programs.

• To hide all the saved routes, click UnCheck All.

NOTE RoutePack files use the . rpk extension. When you hide a RoutePack file in the FliteDeck Setup program, or by deleting it


90

in FliteDeck, the extension changes to . rp~.

In Windows XP, the default RoutePack working directory is the [root]\ Jeppesen\Common\RoutePack folder (under the Jeppesen folder where your programs are installed).

For Windows Vista and Windows 7, the default location is

[root]:\ Users\[User Profile]\ Jeppesen\Common\RoutePack.

Change the RoutePack directory by clicking Browse and then navigating to the new drive and folder.

To delete a RoutePack file permanently, navigate to the folder in Windows Explorer and delete the file.

TIP If you notice FliteDeck's performance slowing down, you may want to create a separate RoutePack directory containing only the RoutePacks used during flight. Having a separate directory limits the number of routes FliteDeck must manage in the program, and may increase performance.

Route Planning Options

Automatically insert waypoint when route list is clicked — This check box currently does not do anything. This function is always on. Check the README file for the latest information.

Whenever there is a waypoint in the Enter Waypoint text box, clicking in the Route Waypoint list inserts the new waypoint in front of where you click. Because it is easy to inadvertently insert a waypoint in this manner, FliteDeck always asks for confirmation regardless of the setting on the Confirm Route Changes option.

Confirm route changes — If this option is selected, clicking the Execute button is a required step to complete any change to a route. This allows you to examine the changed route before accepting the change. Clear this box to save one step in editing a route.

IMPORTANT It is easy to unintentionally delete waypoints if this option is not selected. It is recommended that you become comfortable editing routes before clearing this option.

Allow rubberband replanning — To disable rubberband replanning, clear the Allow Rubberband> Replanning check box. If you have a pointing device, the rubberband method is an easy way to edit a route in FliteDeck (see Rubberband Editing). If you are using a pen tablet device, you must be able to point to the route and perform a drag action as you could with a mouse. Also, it may not be feasible to use rubberband replanning during flight, especially in turbulence.

FliteDeck Setup

91

Include all intersections — Check this option when you want all the intersections along the airways included in your route waypoint list. Use either of the following formats to trigger this option:

DEPARTURE LOW DESTINATION - routes along low airways. Example: KDEN LOW KMIA

DEPARTURE HIGH DESTINATION - routes along high airways. Example: KDEN HIGH KMIA

DEPARTURE [ENTRY POINT] [AIRWAY] DESTINATION - routes along specified airways. This method only works with all airways and entry points of a continuous route between the departure and destination. Example: KDEN DVV V8 HOYTT V4 GLD V132 HUT V73 ICT V350 CNU V132 SGF V159 CTY V7 LAL V511 KMIA.

As soon as you check or uncheck the box this option works in FliteDeck.

NOTE This is the only option you can change in the Setup program that applies without closing and reopening FliteDeck.

Terminal Charts Tab The Terminal Charts tab shows your current chart cycle and coverage(s), and lets you set a zoom increment preference for terminal chart views.

FliteDeck Principles

FliteDeck Principles Since you can use FliteDeck on a variety of computers, the program is highly configured through the FliteDeck Setup program (see FliteDeck Setup).

You may have a keyboard available to operate FliteDeck or you may use a mouse to click on screen buttons, windows, and components. On touch screen or pen tablet PCs, you tap or touch the screen instead of clicking with a mouse. Throughout this guide, the word click means the same as tap, or touch. Similarly, point and drag refer to equivalent actions performed with a mouse, pen, or touch screen.

Pages and Components The FliteDeck interface consists of pages and components. A page is like a tab in your Airway Manual. Pages display information pertinent to a particular phase of flight, such as route planning, terminal chart viewing, or enroute navigation.

A component is a sub-window within a page. It can be a large portion of the page (such as a terminal chart), or a small box (latitude/longitude information). It can also be a button that controls some part of the program (zoom buttons).

Using Pages

In the FliteDeck Setup program, you choose which pages to display in the program, from two pages in the Chart Viewer to six with GPS input. Each page has a corresponding button. In the EFB-style configuration the buttons are ranged across the top. In the standard notebook computer style configuration they run in tab format down the left side:


96

With a mouse or touch screen, click the tab or button for the page you want. With a keyboard, press the PAGE DOWN and PAGE UP keys to move between pages.

Using Components

The active component in a page is highlighted by a colored border. In a page with multiple components, use mouse clicks and keyboard commands to select the active component by clicking inside it or pressing TAB (SHIFT+TAB to move back) until it is highlighted.

When a component is active, press ENTER to perform the same action as clicking on it. Other actions may be available, such as zooming in and out on a chart.

If you use a mouse or pointing device, just click the buttons on a page to perform the button actions. Clicking on information blocks, such as those on the Enroute Nav page, normally toggles between different types of information available in that block.


97

Keyboard users can also use the function keys (F1, F2...) that are mapped to buttons and boxes. The setup program allows you to display or hide function key labels. You might choose to hide the labels to make the boxes less cluttered. The function keys still work when the labels are hidden, and you can use them if you can remember which buttons or components they map to.

When the text on a button is grayed out, it means that button is inactive. For example, in the Plan page, clearing the Enter Waypoint text box grays out the first four buttons down the right side of the page, since there is no waypoint on which to perform these actions.

Routes and RoutePacks While you can create simple routes within FliteDeck, you may prefer the more sophisticated flight planning capabilities of other Jeppesen applications, such as FliteStar, JetPlanner, or JeppView. You can use the flight plans from these programs within FliteDeck. Jeppesen programs exchange data using a file called a RoutePack . You can save RoutePack files to flash or USB media, email them, and otherwise move them between computers.

You can plan a flight using FliteStar, JetPlanner, or JeppView and then save your work to a RoutePack. If you plan a flight on the same computer as FliteDeck, open the FliteDeck program and the RoutePack will be there. If you plan on a different computer than you fly with:

1. Copy the file onto a USB thumb drive or other media storage.

2. Copy the RoutePack file to your FliteDeck computer.

NOTE What is the difference between JeppView and FliteStar? JeppView is the ground-based companion program to FliteDeck. JeppView gives you the power to update, sort, and print your Jeppesen terminal charts in customized formats to meet your specific needs. FliteStar is a separate, comprehensive flight planner that integrates with JeppView and FliteDeck.

Transferring your RoutePack to the FliteDeck Computer

Assume you have created a route in FliteStar or JeppView from Jeffco (KBJC) to Pueblo (KPUB) Colorado and saved it with the default filename and location: C:\Jeppesen\Common\RoutePack\KBJC_to_KPUB.rpk

Now, you would like to use this route on a pen tablet computer running FliteDeck.

1. Put removable media, such as a flash card or USB drive, in the computer with JeppView or FliteStar.

2. Click My Computer and choose Explore.


98

NOTE If you are comfortable moving files between computers, use whatever procedure works best for you.

3. Locate the C:\Jeppesen\Common\RoutePack folder.

NOTE If you are using FliteDeck with Microsoft Windows Vista, the default RoutePack location is C:\Users\[User Profile]\Jeppesen\Common\RoutePack.

4. Right-click the KBJC_to_KPUB.rpk file and choose Send To.

5. Choose the disk to send the file to.

NOTE A 64MB USB thumb drive has plenty of room for multiple RoutePacks with charts.

6. Move your thumb drive or other media to the computer that will be used to run FliteDeck.

7. On that computer, navigate to the media. If Windows XP offers some options when you insert the disk, click Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer. Otherwise, click My Computer and choose Explore.

8. Right-click the KBJC_to_KPUB.rpk file and choose Copy.

9. Go to the C:\Jeppesen\Common\RoutePack folder on the FliteDeck computer.

NOTE If you are using FliteDeck with Microsoft Windows Vista, the default RoutePack location is C:\Users\[User Profile]\Jeppesen\Common\RoutePack.


99

10. Right-click in a blank area in the file list and choose Paste.

You should now see the RoutePack from your flight planning computer (the desktop PC running FliteStar or JeppView) in the folder of the computer on which you are going to run FliteDeck. If you are using a different location to save your RoutePacks other than the default, you need to change the RoutePack location in the FliteDeck Setup program Routes tab.

Learning FliteDeck with the GPS Simulator Trainer You can use the FliteDeck GPS simulator trainer to emulate GPS position data input for testing and practice. When you enable the GPS simulator in the FliteDeck Setup Program, a GPS Sim Trainer controller floats over the FliteDeck program.

Changing the Simulator Status

To turn the simulator on or off, click Sim on the GPS Sim Trainer, or press ENTER when the GPS Sim Trainer is active.

• When the simulator is Off, the aircraft symbol on the enroute chart and within the Profile View displays in red, simulating a GPS not sending valid position information to FliteDeck.


100

• When the simulator is On, the aircraft symbol displayed on the enroute chart uses your direct input to simulate heading

• When the simulator is in Auto, FliteDeck simulates flight along an active or direct-to route, automatically adjusting the heading, speed, vertical speed, and altitude. If a route is not selected, the autopilot acts the same as in the On position, and needs your direct input. You may have to initially set the active

, speed, vertical speed and altitude.

waypoint Setting the Active Waypoint

(see ) on the Plan page to start the auto-pilot on your active route.

When the active route is planned in FliteDeck or JeppView, the autopilot uses a generic set of altitude and speed attributes. If the route is planned in FliteStar, the aircraft model attributes are saved within the RoutePack

• The general speed attribute is 100 knots (or equivalent) and can increase over terrain. Overriding the speed while using the auto-pilot mode shuts off the auto-throttle function in which it needs to be manually managed.

and used in the Auto-pilot mode.

• The general climb vertical speed attribute is 1000-feet per minute, and the descent vertical speed is 500-feet per minute. Overriding the vertical speed or altitude while using the auto-pilot mode shuts off the altitude function. Thereafter, the altitude and vertical speed must be managed manually.

• If the aircraft is in auto-throttle mode, the aircraft will stop at the destination. If the aircraft symbol does not come close enough to the destination airport to automatically stop, the aircraft will continue using the inbound heading.

• If the altitude, speed, and vertical speed are manually changed, you can place it back in auto-pilot by clicking Sim and cycling through Off and On back to the Auto mode.

Controlling the GPS Simulator Trainer

To control the GPS Simulator:

• Click the left or right arrow symbols next to Trk to change the course

• Hold SHIFT while doing this to change the course in 10-degree increments.

by one degree, or press the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys.

• Hold CTRL while doing this to change the course in 0.1-degree increments.

• Click the minus (-) and plus (+) symbols next to GS to adjust the groundspeed by 10 knots, or press the PLUS SIGN (+) or the MINUS SIGN (-) keys on the keyboard next to the BACKSPACE key.

• Hold SHIFT to change the groundspeed in 100-knot increments.

• Hold CTRL to change the groundspeed in 1-knot increments.

NOTE Use the PLUS SIGN (+) and the MINUS SIGN (-) keys on the top row of the keyboard, not those on the number pad. Use SHIFT only when making large changes to speed.

• Click d next to VS to decrease the vertical speed by 10 feet per minute and click u to increase the vertical speed by ten feet per minute. You can also press D and U on the keyboard.


101

• Hold SHIFT to change the vertical speed in 100-feet per minute increments.

• Hold SHIFT to change the altitude in 1,000-foot increments.

• Hold CTRL to change the altitude in 10-foot increments.

Using GoTo

If you have a route loaded, FliteDeck normally sets the simulated aircraft location at the departure airport. To place the aircraft symbol at a specific location, do the following:

1. Place the simulator in the On mode.

2. Click the desired location on the chart. Notice the latitude and longitude, designator for an airport, VOR

3. In the sim trainer control box, click GoTo to move the aircraft symbol to the desired location.

, NDB, or intersection appears on the Status bar and in the Sim Trainer GoTo block.

You can also use the Waypoint List to move the aircraft symbol:

1. Go to the Plan page.

2. Click Clear Waypoint (CLR) to clear the Enter Waypoint text box.

3. Select a waypoint in the Route Waypoint list. FliteDeck marks that waypoint with an asterisk (*).

4. In the GPS sim trainer control box, click GoTo.

IMPORTANT When you are finished practicing with the GPS Simulator Trainer, return to the FliteDeck Setup program, select the GPS tab, and enable your actual GPS. See GPS Tab.

The GPS Status Indicator If you are using FliteDeck with a GPS , you must set up your GPS unit to work with your computer and with FliteDeck (see GPS Tab). The GPS Status Indicator tells you whether FliteDeck is receiving a valid data stream from your GPS. The indicator is located in the upper right corner of the screen in the Jeppesen EFB-style configuration and on the status bar at the bottom of the screen in other configurations. Here are its possible indications:

• NO GPS DATA — FliteDeck is receiving data from the GPS, but there is no satellite data associated with it. The following is a list of possible causes of this GPS status:

• Broken wire on cable or a loose connection.

• Wrong baud rate.

• GPS driver is out of date. Contact the manufacturer for an updated driver.


102

Check your connection and repeat the procedure for setting up your GPS.

• GPS: NO POS — This indication, with a yellow background, means your GPS is properly hooked up to your computer and is communicating with FliteDeck, but the GPS is not sending valid position information to FliteDeck. Make sure your antenna is connected and positioned properly, or give the GPS receiver more time to acquire a signal.

• GPS: INVALID — This status is due to a Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor ( RAIM) error. FliteDeck is receiving a signal from the GPS, but the GPS's internal computation of your location is invalid.

• GPS: SIM — This indication, with a yellow background, means FliteDeck is simulating its GPS position and cannot be used for real-time position information.

• GPS: 3D or GPS: 2D — When the status bar is green, FliteDeck is receiving valid position information. The GPS: 3D indication means it is also receiving altitude information.

NOTE The Aircraft Symbol and Range Ring turn red if FliteDeck is not receiving any GPS position information.

NOTE You must have a green GPS status indication in order to use FliteDeck for real-time position information.

• The RoutePack and route name.

• The Active Waypoint — the waypoint to which you are navigating; the next waypoint to pass in your route. It is shown in [bold and in square brackets].

• The Selected Waypoint — marked with an asterisk (*). The waypoint on which you can perform an action.

With each waypoint, FliteDeck displays:

• The course to the waypoint.

• The distance to the waypoint.

• The cruise altitude/crossing

Plan Page

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

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.

This section contains the following topics:

• Moving Around the Chart

• Aircraft Symbol


106

• Current Position Indicator

• The Virtual Keyboard

Moving Around the Chart

Use these tools to move around the chart:

• Press the PLUS SIGN (+) and the MINUS SIGN (-) keys or click the toolbar Zoom buttons to zoom in and out on the chart.

• The drag zoom method: With a mouse or pointing device, click and hold the cursor at

the top left of the area you want to zoom in on, then drag the pointer down and to the right to outline it. When the zoom box fits your interest area, let go of the mouse to zoom.

• To pan with a mouse, hold the cursor near the edge of the chart window until the pointer changes to an arrow. Then click to move a short distance in the direction of the arrow, or press and hold the mouse button to move a longer distance. There are eight chart panning arrows, one for each side and each corner.

• Click on a directional arrow or the ARROW keys to move the chart that direction. Hold the mouse button down on the button to continue panning in the same direction.

Aircraft Symbol

When position information is available, either from a GPS or the GPS simulator, a green chevron symbol indicates the present position of your aircraft on the chart. This symbol is also referred to as a "spotter".

Plan Page

107

Interpreting the Aircraft Symbol

• When the symbol interior is filled green, this indicates that tracking is enabled (for information on the different tracking modes, see Chart Tracking Mode). If you pan the chart, tracking is disabled, and the aircraft symbol interior becomes transparent.

NOTE Click on the transparent aircraft symbol to re-enable tracking mode, or click the TRACK Acft button located near the status bar of pages that have a chart component.

• The range Range Ring ring appears if enabled in the FliteDeck Setup Program (see ). The range ring shows the distance from the aircraft to the edge of the ring ahead, as well as the time to get to the edge of the ring at your current ground speed.

• The FliteDeck Setup program also allows you to display a course projection line. This is a gray line that extends forward from your aircraft. It shows you where your present bearing

NOTE

will take you.

The same aircraft symbol also appears on the Terminal page, but without a range ring.

Suppressing the Aircraft Symbol

Use the Setup application to remove the own-ship aircraft symbol while receiving GPS input.

In the Enroute Chart and Terminal Charts tabs, uncheck the Aircraft Symbol display check boxes.

You may also want to suppress the range ring and course projection line in the Enroute tab.

Current Position Indicator

When the aircraft position moves off the screen, or if you pan away from it, a green arrow shows the direction and distance of the aircraft from edge of the chart. This arrow is called the Current Position Indicator (CPI).

Click the CPI arrow to reposition the chart so that the aircraft is visible again. Using this method automatically re-enables tracking mode, and the aircraft symbol is filled (see Aircraft Symbol for additional information).


108

The CPI displays when the aircraft symbol is suppressed.

The Virtual Keyboard

If you are using a pen tablet PC without a keyboard, you may want to enable the virtual keyboard in the FliteDeck Setup program.

Enable the Virtual Keyboard from the Interview Wizard in the FliteDeck Setup program. This places a Virtual Keyboard button on the Plan and Terminal pages.

• The Jeppesen EFB-style Virtual Keyboard button is in the upper right corner of the page.

• The Default-style Virtual Keyboard button is at the right side of the Enter Waypoint text box.

To use the virtual keyboard:

1. Click the Virtual Keyboard.

2. Click the letters and numbers for entry as if using a physical keyboard.

3. To close the virtual keyboard, click the X button in the top right corner.

NOTE Some operating systems, such as Windows XP Tablet Edition, provide their own virtual keyboards. In that case, you may not need the FliteDeck virtual keyboard.

You can copy and paste from a text document into the Virtual Keyboard using the standard shortcut keys CTRL+C or CTRL+X and CTRL+V.

The Enter Waypoint Text Box

The Enter Waypoint Text Box

Use the Enter Waypoint text box to create or change a route. You can type the name, city, identifier, latitude/longitude, or distance and bearing from a VOR or NDB.

Plan Page

109

Find airports, navaids, and waypoints by:

• Entering a Database Waypoint

• Entering a Waypoint by Latitude/Longitude

• Entering Bearing and Distance from another Waypoint

The Enter Waypoint Text Box can also be used to access Airport Information.

Entering a Database Waypoint

To enter a waypoint in the Enter Waypoint text box:

1. Type the waypoint name, identifier, or city name in the Enter Waypoint text box.

If the name you are looking for has more than one word (e.g.”Colorado Springs”), put it in quotation marks. Otherwise, the program identifies the two words as multiple waypoints (see Creating a Route Using the Quick Plan Method).

The Select Waypoint list opens with all the matches for the entry. When you search for an airport name that begins with a frequently used word, such as "San" or "New", place it in quotation marks and add a space after the word. For example, use "SAN " rather than "SAN".

TIP If you are using a pointing device, you can also click or touch the navaid on the enroute chart, and the Enter Waypoint text box automatically enters the information. If it did not enter what you wanted, zoom in closer and try again.

2. FliteDeck displays the most likely match for that waypoint to the right of the Enter Waypoint text box.

• If the message No Waypoint appears, it means there is not a match for the entry in your data coverage.

• If the Select Waypoint button displays on the right side of the screen, it means FliteDeck has found more than one match for the entry. Press ENTER or click Select Waypoint to see a list of matches.


110

The Routes and Waypoints block in the upper left corner of the screen shows the search results that match the entry.

Select the waypoint you want by doing one of the following:

• Click the waypoint.

• Press the function key (F1, F2, and so on.) for the waypoint.

• Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to select the desired waypoint, and then press ENTER.

• Perform the desired action on the waypoint (direct to, insert, append) using the buttons on the right side of the Plan page.

Tips

• If the chosen waypoint to the right of the Enter Waypoint text box is not the one you want, press ENTER, or click Select Waypoint to choose from a list.

• If the chosen waypoint is the one you want, use the waypoint buttons to immediately insert or perform other actions with that waypoint.

• To abandon entering a waypoint click Cancel (ESC).

• FliteDeck uses these rules to pick which waypoint displays in the scratchpad:

o Exact matches have top priority.

o Number of characters entered and identifier length. For example, NDB identifiers are usually two characters, so an exact-match NDB is picked for a two-character entry. VORs are generally three characters, so an exact-match VOR is picked for a three-character entry. The same applies for airports and four-character entries, and for intersections and five-character entries. Entries for lat/lon points must be six or more characters to be recognized.

o City and airport names get lower priority than identifiers.

o If position information is available, proximity to current position or a route waypoint moves a waypoint up the list.

Plan Page

111

Entering a Waypoint by Latitude/Longitude

You can enter a waypoint that is not in the Jeppesen database by typing in a latitude and longitude. Enter degrees, minutes, and decimal minutes as shown in the following format:

Format = Nddmm.hhWdddmm.hh

• N = North (N) or South (S).

• E = West (W) or East (E).

• dd and ddd = degrees. Pad with leading zeros to make two latitude or three longitude digits (see below for examples).

o N45W122 — North 45 degrees, West 122 degrees.

o S05E007 — South 5 degrees, East 7 degrees. You must use leading zeros if latitude degrees are only one digit, or longitude is less than three digits.

• mm = minutes. Optional, but if you use it, pad with zeros to make two digits.

o N4504W12206 — North 45 degrees, 4 minutes. West 122 degrees, 6 minutes.

• hh = Tenths or hundredths of minutes. Optional. Enter one digit for tenths or two digits for hundredths.

o S4504.2E02206.5 — South 45 degrees, 4.2 minutes, East 22 degrees, 6.5 minutes.

o S4504.23E02206.63 — South 45 degrees, 4.23 minutes, East 22 degrees, 6.63 minutes.

TIP If you are using a pointing device, you can also click/touch on the enroute chart and the Enter Waypoint text box automatically displays the information. If it did not show the point you wanted, zoom in closer and try again.

If the notation [No Waypoint] appears instead of the waypoint icon and WP X with the lat/lon, check that the number of digits is correct for the degrees and minutes.

Entering Bearing and Distance from Another Waypoint

You can enter a waypoint using a bearing and distance from a VOR , NDB, airport or intersection. Enter the waypoint identifier, followed by the radial (bearing) and distance, in the following format:

Format = nnn/rrr/ddd

• nnn = waypoint identifier

• rrr = radial

• ddd = distance

Examples:

• UBG/110/10 = Newburg VOR, 110-degree radial, 10 nm.

• PDX/160/20 = Portland VOR, 160-degree radial, 20 nm.


112

In the second example, PDX matches both Portland (Oregon) International Airport and Portland VOR. When an identifier matches more than one waypoint, click the Choose Waypoint button to select which you would like to use. See Entering a Database Waypoint for a similar procedure.

TIP If you are using a pointing device, you can also click/touch on the enroute chart and the Enter Waypoint text box automatically enters the information. If it did not enter what you wanted, zoom in closer and try again.

Viewing Airport Information

You can view general airport information for both IFR and VFR airports (runway information, communication and navigation frequencies) by clicking the Info: [Airport] button on the Plan page, Terminal page, Enroute Nav page and Enroute Map page. If you have a connection to XM weather, additional weather information also displays, such as TFRs, METARs, Terminal Area Forecasts and City Forecasts (see Weather for additional information).

To view the airport information:

• On the Plan page, enter an airport in the Enter Waypoint text box, and click Info: [Airport] or click the airport name to the right of the Enter Waypoint Text Box.

• On the Terminal page, click Info: Airport.

• On the Enroute Nav page, click on an airport in the enroute chart and click Info: [Airport].

• On the Enroute Map page, click on an airport in the enroute chart and click Info: [Airport].

The Airport Information is organized in four sections: General, Communication Frequencies, Runway/ Navigation Frequencies, and Weather. To view any of the information, click on the labeled button.

• General information contains airport information about location, latitude and longitude coordinates, elevation, time zone, fuel types and services. For US airports, it also displays what paper sectional the airport resides on. If an active XM weather connection is available (see Weather), there is also textual information about any nearby Temporary Flight Restrictions ( TFRs).

• Comm Freqs displays communication frequencies for the selected airport.

o Using Low Airways and High Airways

o Adding Waypoints Using the Chart

o Adding Waypoints by Typing Their Names

o Using the Active Route from Your GPS

5. After your route is created and you are using a GPS GPS Sim Trainer or the , set the active waypoint.

Creating a Route Using Plain Language Routing

If you know the identifiers of all the waypoints you want in your trip, you can create a route in a just a couple of steps:

1. On the Plan page, click Routes (F12) and then New Route (F8).

2. Clear any text from the Enter Waypoint text box.

3. Type all the waypoint identifiers into the Enter Waypoint text box separated by a space. Use any of the following auto-routing methods:

• Direct Routing — To create a direct route or specify direct routing from one waypoint to another, enter the waypoints in order separated by a space. If you are accustomed to entering specific terminology between each waypoint to designate a direct route, you can enter DCT, GPS

Setting the Altitude Along the Route

or LORAN between the waypoints. In the example below, the route could have been entered as KPDX DCT LKV LOW KLAS VNA AMBRR AMBRR.BLH4 KPHX. Direct routes follow the shortest path from one waypoint to another with no intermediate stops. For direct routing, ensure your altitude clearances are appropriate by viewing the Profile View in the Enroute Nav page (see

and Profile View for additional information).

Plan Page

115

NOTE In cases where an identifier refers to more than a single navaid, you can use waypoint codes to specify an airport, VOR , and so on:

Waypoint Type Code Example

Airport A A;KPDX

VOR V V;PDX

Intersection I I;RIPON

NDB N N;TRN

User-Defined Waypoint U U;home

Present Position (GPS input)

P/P p/p

• VOR, NDB, and airport routing — Entering VNA between two waypoints generates a route with VORs, NDBs, and airports as navigation points. For VNA routing, ensure your altitude clearances are appropriate by viewing the Profile View in the Enroute Nav page (see Setting the Altitude Along the Route and Profile View for additional information).

• Maximum leg length — After specifying VNA or any of the direct routing key words in the route line, you can enter an optional maximum leg length between waypoints. For example, flying a route from one airport to another using VNA routing with a maximum leg length of 75 miles, your entry into the Enter Waypoint text box may look similar to KOGD VNA 75 KAMA.


116

• High and low altitude airway

Using Low Airways and High Airways

routing — Entering LOW or HIGH between waypoints auto-routes through the high or low altitude airway network (see

for additional information). When using HIGH or LOW, ensure that there is an entry waypoint and an exit waypoint. Entry and exit waypoints can be the departure and destination airport, VORs, and enroute airspace fixes connected to an airway. When routing through the high and low network, the altitude on the route is set higher than the minimum altitude required for obstacle

Route with LOW and HIGH to "Include all intersections" when this option is checked in the Setup Routes tab.

and terrain clearance.

• Maximum/ Minimum Enroute IFR

Altitude (MEA) — After specifying LOW or HIGH in the route line, you can enter an optional maximum MEA where FliteDeck will not plan a route where the MEA is higher than what you specified. For example, flying a route from one airport to another using low airway routing with a maximum MEA of FL190, your entry into the Enter Waypoint text box may look similar to KPDX LOW FL190 KSLC.

• Airway routing — You can enter an airway route by using any two waypoints that are part of the airway separated by the airway designator (for example, V23 or J14). If the airway is not connected to the specified waypoints, the route will not work. When using an airway in your plain language routing, an entry and exit waypoint needs to be specified.

For example, looking at Lamar Municipal Airport (KLAA), there are several airways that can be used to travel to a destination. When choosing an airway, you must first select a VOR/Airport/Airspace fix that connects to the airway. Traveling to Meade Municipal ( KMEJ), V10 is chosen, but it does not travel to KMEJ, so another airway is needed. Between the airways, a transition waypoint connecting the airways must be specified. The entry into the Enter Waypoint text box may look similar to KLAA LAA V10 GCK V17 FLACK KMEJ.

Plan Page

117

To show all the airway intersections in the route waypoint list, check the Setup application Routes tab check box "Include all intersections", and enter a contiguous sequence of entry points and airway numbers from departure to destination. For example: KUAO V23 EUG V452 KLMT. FliteDeck requires the connecting VOR or NDB and airway number for each new airway. In this example, omitting EUG V452 returns only the intersections along V23.

• SIDS and STARS — If a departure or destination airport has a SID/STAR you would like to use, enter the procedure name using the following formats:

o For SIDs, the format is entered as departure name.transition.

o For STARs, the format is entered as transition.arrival name.

FliteDeck can only route with pilot-nav SIDs and STARs. A pilot-nav procedure is a specific sequence of waypoints and altitudes; vector procedure waypoints and altitudes are variable, determined by ATC.

When planning a VNA, LOW, or HIGH airway route that ends with a STAR, you must identify a transition waypoint. STAR transitions are usually named for the first waypoint of the procedure. To enter or modify a procedure after the route is created, see Adding SIDs and STARs to a Route.

NOTE When selecting a procedure, verify with your terminal charts that the procedure is still valid and has not been replaced or modified. Navigational data is updated every 28 days and changes within the associated 28 days may not occur until the next cycle.

4. Click Insert Waypoint (F8).

5. Where FliteDeck finds more than one match, select the waypoint you want to use.

6. Click Execute (F7) to complete the route or Cancel ( ESC) to abandon it.

View the Generated Route


118

Error Checking

If FliteDeck does not recognize an identifier in the entry, the unrecognized identifier highlights and flashes in the scratchpad, and the status bar shows an error, usually "[identifier] could not be located. Please re-enter."

If you can see the error, simply re-enter the identifier correctly. As soon as you begin typing, the highlighted portion of the entry is deleted and replaced with the new input. If you're using a keyboard you can also hit DELETE or BACKSPACE to remove the highlighted portion before re-entering.

If you are not sure of the correct identifier, there are two ways to continue:

• Delete the incorrect portion of the entry and finish the route without the nav aid.

• Use the CLEAR WAYPOINT button or ESC key to delete the entire route entry.

When the scratchpad is empty, you can search for the correct identifier. Enter the part of the name or identifier you're sure about, and click the Select Waypoint button, when it appears, to view the search results. Select the waypoint you want and insert it in the route, or enter the route again.

Airway numbers are also highlighted if FliteDeck does not find valid connectors. If you don't recognize the error, use the enroute chart view to locate and correct the airway endpoints.

Plan Page

119

Notes on the Plain Language Routing Method

• You can also use this method to insert a new segment into an existing route. FliteDeck tries to place the new segment at the most geographically appropriate location in the existing route. You can adjust the insertion point with the Move Up and Move Down arrows.

• FliteDeck intelligently handles new route segments that overlap the current route. If the beginning and ending waypoints of the route segment match waypoints in the current route, FliteDeck replaces all waypoints in the segment of the current route with the newly entered segment. Otherwise, FliteDeck does not remove waypoints from the existing route, and you may need to manually delete some waypoints.

• You can enter RNAV waypoints. See Entering a Waypoint by Latitude/Longitude and Entering Bearing and Distance from another Waypoint.

Using Low Airways and High Airways

If you would like to create a flight plan using low or high airways:

1. On the Plan page, click Routes (F12) and then New Route (F8).

2. Clear any text from the Enter Waypoint

3. Enter the departure airport followed by a space.

text box with the Clear Waypoint button or ESC key.

4. Enter LOW (for low airways) or HIGH (for high airways) followed by a space.

5. Enter the destination airport.


FliteDeck creates a route from the departure airport to the destination airport using the airway routing specified. All airway segment endpoints are automatically added to the waypoint list and chart view.


120

To add all intersections on the airways to the waypoint list:

1. Open the Setup application and go to the Routes tab.

2. In the Route Planning Options box select Include all intersections and click OK.

Create the route as above.

To add waypoints to a route using the enroute chart:

1. Zoom and pan on the chart so you can clearly see the area where you want to plan your route. Zoom in even further as needed so you can clearly see individual waypoints.

2. Click any airport, navaid or area on the chart.

3. View the Enter Waypoint

4. Click Append Waypoint (F9).

text box to validate that you selected what you want.


122

Repeat this procedure, appending the rest of the waypoints to your route.

NOTE In the Setup program Routes tab, the Confirm route changes option lets you to examine your changes on the route list and chart before committing to them. If you would prefer to skip the Execute step, run the FliteDeck Setup program, click the Routes tab, and clear the Confirm route changes check box.

Adding Waypoints by Typing Their Names

If you know the waypoint name or designator, you can enter it into the Enter Waypoint Text box and add it to your route. See The Enter Waypoint Text Box to review the procedures for entering waypoints.

1. Click Clear Waypoint (ESC) to clear any text in the Enter waypoint text box.

2. Type in the name or identifier of any airport or navaid.

• If FliteDeck correctly matches what you type (shown to the right of the Enter waypoint text box), proceed to add the waypoint, step 3 below.

• If FliteDeck does not correctly match what you type, click Select Waypoint and select the waypoint you want from the Select Waypoint list.

• If FliteDeck indicates [No Waypoint], go back to Step 1 and try entering the waypoint differently.


4. Repeat this procedure, appending the rest of the waypoints to your route.

Using the Active Route from your GPS

When connected to a GPS unit that outputs route information, FliteDeck automatically uses the active route from the GPS receiver. This occurs if you have entered a route into your GPS and made it active. If the GPS active route is not the route you want to see in FliteDeck, click Routes and choose something else from the Select Route list.

Plan Page

123

Use the following tips and information when connecting a GPS and using route data:

• If you want to use the GPS receiver’s active route again, click Routes and select Active GPS Route.

• You cannot get route data from GPS units that do not have route planning capability.

• Any changes in the route or navigation state of the GPS (such as active waypoint

• You cannot edit or otherwise control the Active GPS route from FliteDeck. FliteDeck is merely viewing the information from your GPS. Use the controls on the GPS to manipulate the route.

) are reflected in FliteDeck while the Active GPS Route is in use.

NOTE Although FliteDeck is not designed to take over control (editing, sequence hold, setting active waypoint) of the active GPS route, there is a way to make a copy of this route that you can control with FliteDeck. With the route selected, click Reverse Route. This makes a reversed copy of the route. Click Reverse Route again. This makes another copy of the route which is the same, but separate from, the active GPS route.

Saving an Active GPS Route

You can save the active route from your GPS into the FliteDeck Daily RoutePack to use another day. When loading the route on a future date, work with the route in FliteDeck, not your GPS. You can edit the route, set the active waypoint, or otherwise manipulate it in FliteDeck. To save a route from your GPS into FliteDeck:

1. Load an active route into your GPS.

2. Connect the GPS to FliteDeck.


4. Make sure the Active GPS Route is selected.


124

5. Click Save Route (F9).

IMPORTANT You should save your GPS route before beginning any navigation along the route. If you wait until during or after flight, you may not get all of the waypoints in the route. Many GPS units output the waypoints only from the unflown portion of the route.

3. Click Insert Waypoint (F8) or Append Waypoint (F9).

4. If inserting, click the Move Up (F8) or Move Down (F9) to place the waypoint where you want it in your route.


Rubberband Editing

If your computer has a pointing device and you have enabled rubber-band editing in the FliteDeck Setup you can use this powerful, easy way to edit your route on the chart.

1. Drag or bend the route over a new waypoint

• To insert a new waypoint into the route, point to the route line the middle of the segment near the new waypoint, press the mouse button, and bend the route line over the new waypoint.

:

• To move the route line from one waypoint to another, point to the route line where it crosses the waypoint to be changed, and drag the route line off that waypoint and on top of the new waypoint.


130

FliteDeck draws the proposed route on the chart with a green dashed line and shows the proposed change to your route list.

Deleting a Waypoint

To delete a waypoint :


2. Select the waypoint you want to delete. FliteDeck marks the waypoint with an asterisk (*).

3. Click Delete Waypoint (F10). FliteDeck draws the route as it will appear after the deletion with a dashed green line.

4. Click Execute (F7).

You can also delete a waypoint by typing the name of the waypoint to delete:

1. Press the TAB key to rest on the Enter Waypoint text box.

2. Type the name of the waypoint.

3. Click Delete Waypoint (F10).

4. Click Execute (F7).

NOTE If you select a waypoint to delete that is part of a procedure, a button displays, such as Delete SID, that allows you to delete the entire procedure. The procedure name appears above the applicable waypoints in the Route Waypoint list.

Deleting More Than One Waypoint

This feature is patterned after the multiple- waypoint delete functions in some flight management systems. For example, assume you are deleting WUTSO and GFK VOR from the route shown here:

1. If there is any text in the Enter waypoint text box, click Clear Waypoint (ESC) to clear it.

2. Select the waypoint immediately before the first waypoint you want to delete, that is, the last waypoint you want to keep. In this example, select KGAF, Hutson Field Airport. FliteDeck marks it with an asterisk (*).

3. Select the last of the waypoints to delete. In this example, select GFK VOR.

4. The waypoints (WUTSO and GFK VOR) disappear from the Route Waypoint list, and FliteDeck draws the proposed route change with a dashed green line.

5. Click Execute (F7) to confirm the deletion. The resulting portion of this route goes direct from KGAF to PKD VOR.

IMPORTANT If you have cleared Confirm Route Changes in the FliteDeck Setup program, you could easily delete several waypoints when you think you are just selecting a waypoint! That is why, when you are not deleting multiple waypoints, you must clear any text


132

out of the Enter waypoint text box with the Clear Waypoint (ESC) button prior to trying to select a waypoint.

TIP If you accidentally delete data from a route, you may be able to recover by exiting FliteDeck without saving the RoutePack .

Going Direct To a Waypoint

Direct To allows you to navigate directly to any waypoint or location, without clearing your route from the Plan page. You can easily resume your planned route at any time.


2. Select a waypoint or location that you would like to navigate direct to:

• Click a waypoint or location on the chart.

• Type a waypoint name or location (latitude/longitude or bearing

3. Click Direct To (F7).

/distance reference) into the Enter Waypoint text box.

NOTE The Direct To button is always labeled with the name of the selected waypoint, or is labeled WP1, WP2 if you have selected a location other than a named waypoint.

Plan Page

133

4. Go to the Enroute Nav page.

• The active waypoint is now your Direct to waypoint.

• FliteDeck displays a magenta line from your present position to the Direct to waypoint.

• The Supplemental Track Indicator (STI) and Flight Information blocks (enroute nav page) guide you to the Direct to waypoint.

To go direct to a waypoint in your route, just select a waypoint from the Route Waypoint list.

IMPORTANT The Direct To button is only available if FliteDeck is receiving a valid GPS position, or if the GPS simulator is on.

Notes about Direct to Operations:

• Direct to operations are temporary.

• The Direct to route is not displayed on the Plan page.

• The existing route is not changed by a Direct to operation (unless it was a Direct to route).

• You cannot save a Direct to route.

Canceling Direct To and Resuming Navigation on your Route

To cancel the Direct To routing:

1. Select the Plan page.

2. Click the waypoint in the route to resume navigation.

3. Click Set Active Waypoint.

Loading a Previously-Saved Route

To load a route saved from JeppView, FliteStar, JetPlanner or FliteDeck:

1. Click Routes (F12). Available routes are those that have not been hidden in the FliteDeck Setup program (see Routes Tab for more information).

See Transferring your RoutePack to the FliteDeck Computer for a procedure to move RoutePacks from another computer.

The Routes and Waypoints block displays a list of the available routes. Five routes are listed in this example:


134

• The first line is the name of the RoutePack

• The second line contains the route name and total distance. The New Trip RoutePack contains two routes: KBJC -> KPUB and Alternate 1.

that contains the route. In this example, The first route displayed is in the RoutePack name New Trip.

• The bottom right corner indicates an active or unsaved route.

NOTE When you save a route in FliteDeck, the naming convention is "DailyYYMMDD", YY=last two digits of the year, MM=the month, and DD the day that the RoutePack was created. You cannot add routes to a RoutePack created on a previous day. You cannot rename RoutePacks within FliteDeck; use JeppView or FliteStar.

2. Select the route you want by doing one of the following:

• Click the desired route to highlight it and then click Select.

• Click the desired route to highlight it and then click it again.

• Press the FUNCTION key to highlight it and press it again or press ENTER.

• Use the ARROW keys to highlight the desired route and then press ENTER.

NOTE Pressing ENTER, F7, or clicking Select confirms the route selection.

Setting the Altitude Along the Route

Plan Page

135

The easiest way to set an altitude for your route is to create it in FliteStar. If creating a route in FliteDeck, the altitude will be set to an appropriate VFR or IFR altitude. The value is likely the minimum altitude at which you could fly the route and does not guarantee terrain clearance. FliteDeck allows you to change the altitude for a route one leg at a time. You can also mark a “cleared-to” altitude in the Profile view.

To manually set the altitude for the route one segment at a time:

1. Clear any text from the Enter Waypoint

2. Type an appropriate altitude value into the box (8500, FL120). If typing a flight level, do not put any spaces between “FL” and the number.

text box.

NOTE Starting at 180, any 3-digit value is interpreted as a flight level (FL). To set a value below 1,000 feet, begin with a 0, for example, to indicate 800 feet, enter 0800.

The button labels on the right change to actions for setting an altitude. With the exception of the Cleared To button, these buttons act on a single route segment at a time.

3. Select the waypoint to which you want the altitude change applied.

• Cleared To marks your clearance altitude on the Profile view. The line extends across the whole profile. If you later receive a clearance to a different altitude, return to the Plan page and reset it.

In the Profile View, if the clearance altitude is higher than what is being displayed, the clearance altitude displays in orange above the Profile View altitude markers.


136

• The Cruise Altitude button is labeled with two waypoints that define a current route leg. It sets the cruise altitude between the previous waypoint and the selected waypoint. Once the cruise altitude is manually changed, the cruise altitude in the waypoint list appears in bold.

• The Crossing Altitude button sets the altitude at which you will cross the selected waypoint. Use this feature for a waypoint with a published minimum crossing altitude ( MCA). Once the crossing altitude is manually changed, the crossing altitude in the waypoint list appears in bold. The Profile View also displays a white marker along your route at the appropriate location.

4. Click the Next arrow (F11) to move to the next route segment.

5. Repeat steps 2-4 to set the altitude for the next route segment.

Plan Page

137

6. Use the Previous arrow (F10), if needed, to move to earlier route segments and re-adjust their altitudes.

Notes About Setting Altitudes

• Direct To legs do not show up in the waypoint list, but their altitudes can be edited. Sequence through the route waypoints with the Previous and Next arrows. On-route Direct-to waypoints are placed after the route segment that shares the waypoint, and off-route Direct-to's will show up after the planned destination. For Direct-to legs, nothing changes in the Route Waypoint list, only the Change Altitude button text changes, and the status bar updates to indicate that the active leg will be edited. Continue to click the Next and Previous arrows to cycle back to the beginning or end of the route.

• Crossing altitudes can be cleared by setting their altitude below the terrain at that waypoint. In most cases, just setting the crossing altitude to 000 will clear it. Cruise altitudes (leg desired altitudes) cannot be cleared. They can only be changed.

To set the same altitude along a series of segments or waypoints:

1. Set the first altitude, and click the Next arrow.

2. Click the altitude set button again.

3. Continue clicking the Next arrow and setting the altitude to the end of the waypoint series.

4. If you want to work backwards along the route, use the Previous arrow.

Setting the Active Waypoint

The active waypoint is the waypoint to which you are currently headed. An active waypoint can be a waypoint along your route or any direct-to waypoint. FliteDeck indicates bearing , distance, and desired track (DTK) to this waypoint.

When sequencing is on, FliteDeck normally chooses the active waypoint automatically. As you pass over an active waypoint, the program sets the next waypoint in the route as the active waypoint. Even if you don’t fly directly over a waypoint, FliteDeck recognizes that you have passed the active waypoint and sequences to the next waypoint. For example, if an airway makes a sharp turn at a VOR , you could cut the corner and miss the VOR by miles, and FliteDeck would still auto-sequence to the next VOR soon after you pass the active waypoint.

There are times when you may need to set the active waypoint manually. Suppose you are navigating from A to B to C, as in the figure.


138

Before you get to B, ATC assigns you a vector to intercept the course from B to C. In this case, you want to set C as your active waypoint.

To set a waypoint as your active waypoint:


2. Select the waypoint in the Route Waypoint list that you want to make active. FliteDeck marks this waypoint with an asterisk (*).

3. Click Set Active Waypoint.

Suspending Waypoint Sequencing — Sequence Hold

There are times when you need to suspend FliteDeck’s automatic waypoint sequencing:

• Holding.

• Overflying a single waypoint more than once during an approach procedure (and you haven’t inserted the waypoint multiple times into your route).

• Approaching the runway threshold during an instrument approach. Most missed approach procedures require maneuvering (e.g. climbing straight ahead to a certain altitude) prior to proceeding to the next waypoint.

The sequence button on the Plan page places the current status of sequencing on the label.

• When sequencing is on, the label reads Sequencing:ON.

• When sequencing is off, the label reads Sequencing:OFF.

Plan Page

139

When sequencing is off, it suspends FliteDeck’s automatic waypoint sequencing. To turn sequencing off:


2. Click Sequencing:ON to change the status of sequencing.

The status bar momentarily confirms that you have engaged Sequence Hold:

The Sequencing:ON button label changes to Sequencing:OFF. Now FliteDeck will not sequence to the next waypoint after you pass the active waypoint. You can tell sequence hold is active because your distance to the active waypoint starts increasing after waypoint passage and the bearing changes to a value opposite your course . It’s like crossing a VOR station and watching the TO/FROM flag on your VOR flip to FROM.

To turn sequencing on:

1. If needed, set the active waypoint.

2. Click Sequencing:OFF to change the status of sequencing.

Saving a Route

To save a new or modified route:


The Routes and Waypoints block shows the Select Route list. The route you were working on is selected and FliteDeck shows it as Unsaved.

2. Click Save Route (F9).

You can save any route in the Select Route list that is marked as Unsaved. Select the route to be saved and click Save Route (F9).

When you exit FliteDeck, Windows asks you to save or reject this change to the RoutePack file.

Deleting a Route

To delete a route:


140


2. Click Routes.

3. In the Select Route list, select the route to be deleted.

4. Click Delete Route (F10).

IMPORTANT FliteDeck does not ask you to confirm this deletion unless it is the active route used in FliteDeck.

When you exit FliteDeck, Windows asks you to save or reject this change to the RoutePack file.

Reversing a Route

To reverse a route:

1. Go to the Plan tab.

2. Select Routes.

3. In the Select Route list, select the route to be reversed.

4. Click Reverse Route (F11).

This creates a new, reversed route in a RoutePack labeled with the current date. The original route is retained.

Adding SIDs and STARs to a Route

You can add pilot-nav SIDs and STARs to your FliteDeck route after entering a route with a departure and destination. A pilot-nav SID, as opposed to a vector SID, is one that has specific routes as part of the procedure. The SID/STAR menu is active only when pilot-nav SIDs or STARs are available for the departure or arrival airports of the active route.

NOTE When selecting a procedure, verify with your terminal charts that the procedure is still valid and has not been replaced or modified. Navigational data is updated every 28 days and changes within the associated 28 days may not occur until the next cycle.

To add a SID or a STAR:


2. Loaded a route in which the departure or arrival airports have SIDs or STARs available.

3. Click SID/STAR (F11).

4. Click Select SID (F7) or Select STAR (F8).

Plan Page

141

5. The Routes and Waypoints list in the upper left corner of the page changes to the Select Procedure list. Select the SID or STAR you want and then select the transition.

6. FliteDeck displays the proposed route in the Route Waypoint list and draws it on the chart with a dashed green line.


142

7. If you are satisfied with the procedure and transition, click Execute (F7). If not, click Cancel (ESC) and repeat steps 3 through 7 to select another procedure.

Deleting a SID or STAR

To delete a SID or STAR:

1. Select any waypoint

2. Click Delete SID or Delete STAR, or press F10.

in the SID or STAR. The Delete button changes to Delete SID or Delete STAR.

Notes on Deleting SIDs and STARs:

• Deleting any waypoint in a SID or STAR deletes the entire procedure.

• An exception is when you have inserted waypoints in the middle of the procedure; it then becomes just a list of route waypoints and is no longer treated as a procedure.

Choosing an Airport from the Enroute Chart.

The Nearest and Next buttons are only available when FliteDeck is receiving valid position information from your GPS or the GPS simulator.

Finding an Airport by Identifier, Name, or City

To search for an airport not associated to your active route:


2. Click the Select Airport icon (F1).

3. Enter the Identifier, Name, or City of the Airport into the Enter Airport text box.


146

NOTE In cases where European VFR airports do not have assigned ICAO identifiers, Jeppesen assigns identifiers in the format of the two-letter country identifier followed by two numbers. The assigned airport designator is not official and not to be used for official paperwork, such as filing a flight plan . The easiest way to find airports of this nature is to enter the airport or city name in the Enter Airport text box (EK19=Hoven Airport in Denmark). The Jeppesen identifier will work if you know it.

FliteDeck displays all airports matching what you have typed in the Select Airport list.

• VFR Airports are identified by having the airport identifier and name followed by the word VFR APT.

• IFR airports display only the identifier and airport name.

Click the airport you want, or use the ARROW keys to highlight it and then press ENTER. You can also press the FUNCTION key for the airport, if it is one of the first six that are labeled with function keys.

Approach Charts, SIDS, and STARS

The SIDS, STARS, and Approaches buttons are available only on IFR airports offering these types of charts. For example, if there are no charted STARS for an airport, the STARS button is grayed out. Click the button for the type of chart you want. If you have a subscription to European VFR Bottlang charts, the Approaches button contains VFR Approach Charts.

• FliteDeck displays a list if there is more than one of that type of chart available.

• Once you select a chart, FliteDeck remembers it so you do not have to re-select the procedure from the list every time you return to it.

o For example, if you select the Jeffco (KBJC) ILS 29R Approach, and then select a SID, clicking Approaches (F5) takes you back to the ILS 29R Approach, without showing you the Select Approach list.

o To bring up the Select Approach list and select a different approach, click Approaches a second time.

• The buttons that bring up other types of charts behave the same way.

NOTE If you need to select a different airport chart, SID, STAR, or approach chart than you see when initially clicking any of these buttons, be sure to click the button a second time to bring up the appropriate select chart list.

Working with Terminal Charts

Working with Terminal Charts

Normally FliteDeck starts with an Airport (Runway) Chart for the selected airport, or the last chart you were looking at if you've already viewed charts from that airport.

Displaying a Chart for the First Time

A displayed chart is any chart presented on the Terminal page. How FliteDeck is configured when it is initially installed determines how the terminal chart is presented. For example:

• When the application's height is greater than the width (portrait), all terminal charts display in single view with the full chart displayed.

• When the application's width is greater than the height (landscape), terminal charts display in split view. If the chart is geo-referenced, the plan view of the chart displays in the upper component and the chart header displays in the lower component. If the chart is not geo-referenced, the complete chart displays in the upper and lower component.

When you change certain attributes to a displayed chart, when you open a new chart it will also be displayed in the same format. For example, if you are in a portrait configuration and change the display from single view to split view, the next chart you open also displays in split view.

The one exception to this behavior is if charts are added to the Clipboard without first being viewed. In this instance, the Clipboard charts use the current setting at the time they are added.

The next time you open FliteDeck, it automatically defaults to the last view setting used for the displayed chart and opens all new charts in that manner.


Electronically updating terminal charts follows the same rules as updating terminal charts with a paper subscription. When you receive a CD in the mail or download an update from the Internet, the charts in that update are effective immediately upon receipt. There are a few exceptions where Jeppesen issues a chart before the effective date. FliteDeck uses your computer clock to determine when a chart revises.

Terminal chart changes fall into one of two categories:

• Changes effective immediately upon receipt of a CD or an available Internet download — Most chart changes fall into this category. When viewing an airport's terminal charts in FliteDeck, the revision date for each chart displays in the terminal chart list. The date may be a day or two in the future, but the chart should be used as long as there is no indication that it is to be added or replaced on a specific date.

The terminal charts listed in the image below were downloaded on 03 May 2006. The date specified for the charts - 05 May 2006 - is the revision date. Because there is no indication that they are to be added on 05 May 2006, the charts are effective upon receipt and appropriate for use during flight.


152

• Changes effective mid-cycle on a specified date — Jeppesen charts use an effective date if a chart is issued before it can be used. In this situation, continue to use the previous chart until the effective date. When viewing a list of terminal charts, you will see the current chart and the future effective chart.

o Future effective charts display Add or Replace with the date it is to be effective.

o Current charts that will expire mid-cycle display Remove or Delete on the change date (circled in red in the image below).

Terminal Page

153

o After the change date, the old charts display Removed or Deleted and the date after which they expired.

Also, when you view mid-cycle revision charts, the header displays both the revision date and the effective date, as shown below. If there is no effective date, use the chart upon receipt.

Comparing Charts

You can place the current chart and the revised chart on the Clipboard. Once the charts are on the Clipboard, you can quickly compare them by using the Previous Chart and Next Chart buttons. For additional information about the Clipboard, see Using the Clipboard.

Viewing Revised Charts in the Clipboard

Before viewing a chart on the Clipboard, ensure that the charts are current for your flight and have not or will not change mid-cycle. If there are charts within your coverage that have a mid-cycle update, you will see the revision indicator in the chart list.

TIP Be careful to manage any clipboard charts with mid-cycle revisions:

• Remove obsolete charts and add the revised charts to the Clipboard. Obsolete charts are labeled Removed or Deleted if the date of change has already taken place.

• If you fly during or near the revision date, place both expiring and new charts on the Clipboard for easy reference. This is most important for pilots flying near the International Date Line.

The next time the charts are updated electronically, the charts labeled Removed or Deleted are deleted from your database.


154

Things You Can Do When Viewing a Chart

• With the chart shown full-screen, click inside the chart component to change to the plan view.

• To zoom in and out, click the zoom buttons, or press PLUS SIGN (+) and MINUS SIGN (-).

• Click Restore (press R) to return to the full chart or plan view of the selected chart. If the chart is in split view, selecting Restore only affects the selected component and does not rotate the chart.

• If you are zoomed in very close, you can scroll the chart by clicking the directional arrows, using the ARROW keys, or pointing near the edge or corner of the screen and clicking.

• Click and hold a directional arrow to continue scrolling.

• If the chart is turned the wrong way on your screen, click Rotate until it is oriented correctly. Each time you click this button, FliteDeck rotates the chart 90 degrees clockwise.

Terminal Page

155

Split View

With geo-referenced charts, you can split the single chart component into two separate components. This enables you to more clearly see the required information on a computer screen.

Display a Split View image of a terminal chart.

The upper component is the geo-referenced plan part of the chart. Only charts that are drawn to scale can be geo-referenced — calibrated so that FliteDeck can display your position in this area. Approach charts and Airport (Runway) charts are normally geo-referenced; SIDs and STARs are not.

When the lower component is active, cycle between different types of information by pressing ENTER or clicking/tapping within the component:

On Airport (Runway) Charts

1. Chart Header

2. Additional Runway Information

3. Takeoff and Obstacle Departure Procedures

On Approach Charts

1. Chart Header (Briefing Strip)


156

2. Chart Profile

3. Approach Minimums

Selecting Split View

To switch to or from split view, do one of the following:

• Click the Split View/Single View icon.

• Press S.

The status bar indicates whether the chart is geo-referenced.

If the chart is not geo-referenced, you will see a copy of the full chart in both components, only smaller in the bottom component.

TIP Although split view is not specifically designed for non-geo-referenced charts, you can use the extra component to zoom in on one part of the chart, while keeping a different part of the chart visible in the other component.

Behavior of Split View and Single View

• Before you can zoom, scroll, or otherwise work with the upper and lower components, you must first make the component active (highlighted with a color border):

• With a mouse or pointer, click inside the component.

• With a keyboard, press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move to another component. You can then press the ENTER key to perform the same actions as further clicking in the component. Use the PLUS SIGN (+) and the MINUS SIGN (-) keys to zoom, and the ARROW keys to scroll.

• When viewing a chart in split view, changing the display to single view presents the chart at the same scale with the plan view. To view the full chart, click within the component or press ENTER. If the chart is zoomed in on a location, click Restore or press R.

• FliteDeck remembers the last view setting on a terminal chart before you switch to view another type of chart.

Setting Multiple Viewing Areas of a Terminal Chart

FliteDeck remembers what was last viewed on a terminal chart for each page. Any chart viewed during a session, whether in the Clipboard or in a chart list, displays the same location set as it was left before switching to another chart view.

Terminal Page

157

In split view, certain charts (particularly approach charts) can be displayed in five different viewing aspects. Click inside the upper and lower components to view the different sections of the chart:

1. Select an approach chart (see Selecting a Chart).

2. Display the chart in split view (if needed) by clicking Split View/Single View.

3. Click inside the upper component. This is the first view. This single click toggles the upper pane between plan and full view. If the full chart was displayed, the view will change to the plan section of the chart. If only the plan section was in view, the full chart displays.

4. Click again inside the upper component or press ENTER; this is the second view. The plan changes to full view, or the full chart changes to plan view.

5. Activate the lower component by clicking within it or pressing SHIFT+TAB. This is the third view. The lower pane toggles between the header, profile and minimums portions of the chart.

6. Click again inside the lower component (press ENTER) to toggle the next chart portion; this is the fourth view.

Using the Clipboard

Using the Clipboard

Just as you might use a kneeboard to hold the charts you expect to use for a trip, the clipboard lets you pre-select and organize charts for your journey.

Identifying Clipboard Icons

The following clipboard icons are used throughout the Terminal page and sub-pages.

Manage Clipboard (F9)

Add Displayed Chart to Clipboard (F10)

Remove Displayed Chart from the Clipboard (F10)

Resides in Clipboard - Displays in the airport chart selection lists.

Previous Chart (F11)

Next Chart (F12)

Preparing the Clipboard

The following steps can be conducted before a flight as preparation to view specific terminal charts.

To add terminal charts to the Clipboard for airports not in the displayed route or when a route is not available in the program:

1. Select the Terminal page.

2. Click Select Airport (F1).

3. In the Enter Airport text box, type the identifier, name, or city of the airport.

4. Select an airport from the Select Airport list. The Airport Diagram appears.

5. If you wish to add the Airport Diagram to the Clipboard, click Add to Clipboard (F10).


160

6. Click Runway (F2), SIDS (F3), STARS (F4), and Approaches (F5) to add specific charts to the Clipboard.

7. Select a chart and click Add to Clipboard (F10).

8. When finished, click Done (ESC) to exit out of the window.

9. Repeat steps 6-8 until the desired charts for that airport have been added.

Choose another airport and add more specific terminal charts repeating steps 2-9. The Clipboard is similar to the kneeboard, so add the charts you would normally add to the kneeboard.

TIP If you have a route already displayed in the program and would like to add the route airport terminal charts to the Clipboard, see Route Charts.

If you do not want to add all of the specific charts to the Clipboard, you can just add one chart of each airport, such as the airport diagram. No matter what airport chart is displayed, the other airport charts are available by clicking on the terminal chart buttons.

Identifying Charts in the Clipboard

After a chart has been added to the Clipboard, the Clipboard icon appears to the right of the terminal chart name as a check mark image in any of the terminal chart lists. The icon only identifies a chart that has already been added and does not perform an action. After a chart is removed, the icon no longer appears.

Managing the Clipboard

Open the Clipboard by clicking Manage Clipboard (F9), on the Terminal page. Within the Clipboard page, you can do any of the following:

• View the list of charts that have been added

• Rearrange the chart order

• Remove a chart from the list

• Clear the list

View an image of the FliteDeck Clipboard

Terminal Page

161

Airports — All the airports that have terminal charts in the Clipboard align along the left side. Click on an airport or use press the ARROW and ENTER keys to find the first chart of that airport within the Terminal Chart Clipboard list. Click the airport or press ENTER again to find the next chart in the list for the desired airport. This is advantageous if there are many terminal charts and they are ordered in a manner where an airport's terminal charts are not together.

Terminal Chart Clipboard — All charts added to the Clipboard reside in the Terminal Chart Clipboard List. Charts can be rearranged and deleted.

Rearranging the Order of Charts in the Clipboard

Within the Clipboard, you can order the charts based on your viewing preference by using the Move Up and Move Down arrows. By placing the charts in a specified order, you can cycle through the Clipboard charts efficiently using Previous Chart and Next Chart on the main Terminal page.


162

Move Up and Move Down arrows

Next Chart

Once the charts are in the order of viewing preference, click Done (ESC) or click two times (press the ARROW and ENTER keys) on a chart you would like to view.

Removing a Chart and Clearing the Clipboard

To remove a single chart from the Clipboard:

1. Select the desired chart in the Clipboard Manager, Route Charts, Recent Charts, or within the terminal chart selection areas (Runway, SIDS, STARS, and Approaches).

2. Click Remove from Clipboard (F10).

To remove all the charts from the Clipboard:

1. Click Manage Clipboard (F9).

2. Click Clear List.

This functionality allows you to quickly clear all the charts that have been added to the Clipboard to start fresh and/or add charts that are relevant to the next pilot/trip.

Viewing Clipboard Charts

On the Terminal page, use Previous Chart (F11) and Next Chart (F12) to quickly view the listed charts. When these buttons are used, the labels display new charts dependent on how the Clipboard is arranged.

Terminal Page

163

When you select a chart that is not currently in the Clipboard, the Previous Chart and Next Chart buttons are not available. This occurs because the Next Chart and Previous Chart labels depend on the selected chart in the Clipboard. To view the clipboard charts, either add the displayed chart to the Clipboard, or select a chart to view from the Clipboard.

NOTE There is no underlying meaning to the bold text that occasionally occurs in the Previous Chart and Next Chart labels. This is a result of how the program analyzes the size of the text and the size of the buttons.

Enroute Nav Page

Enroute Nav Page Use the Enroute Nav page during the enroute portion of your flight. This page contains a chart component, navigational information components, profile view, and a supplemental track indicator (STI).

Flight Information Blocks When position information is available, flight information displays on the top or left side of the screen depending on the configuration being used. Each information block has several information types. You can cycle through by clicking the block or by pressing the corresponding bezel or function key. Here’s a brief description of each information block.

Block 1 — Waypoint Information

Click this block (or press F1) to cycle between various types of waypoint information:

• Active Waypoint displays the active waypoint in your route with bearing

• Active Waypoint Frequency if the active waypoint is an airport or

and distance from your present position, and desired track (DTK) as planned for your route.

• Cross Track Error (also shown on the STI, if displayed).

. It is close to the speed you would read on a DME if you could set a DME for your active waypoint.

• Altitude from the GPS and height above ground reference.

IMPORTANT Ground reference is an approximate terrain elevation over an unspecified geographic area near your present position. It is not precise enough or reliable enough to be used for terrain clearance.

Block 3 — Nearest

Click this block (or press F3) to cycle between various objects that are nearest your present GPS position. Includes bearing and distance information to the facility, and frequency information.

• Nearest Center displays the nearest center and the center’s frequency based on your current position.

• Nearest FSS displays the nearest Flight Service Station (FSS) and the stations frequency. It also displays the bearing and distance from your current location.

• Nearest Airport displays the nearest airport and the bearing and distance from your current location.

• Nearest Airport Frequency displays the frequencies of the nearest airport.

• Nearest VOR displays the closest VOR from your current position.

Block 4 — Navigation Computer

Click this block (or press F4) to cycle between various information:

Enroute Nav Page

167

• Ground Speed

• Average Speed since takeoff

• Trip Time

• Odometer displays distance traveled over the ground.

• Time Off displays the local and Zulu time

• Time On displays the local and Zulu time when the program identifies aircraft movement (from a GPS or the GPS Simulator Trainer) is less than the ground speed setting. The ground speed setting can be modified in the Track/Vertical Profile tab of the FliteDeck Setup program. The local time is generated from the Time Zone where movement slowed or ceased.

when the program identifies aircraft movement (from a GPS or the GPS Simulator Trainer) is greater than the ground speed setting. The ground speed setting can be modified in the Track/Vertical Profile tab of the FliteDeck Setup program. The local time is generated from the Time Zone where movement occurred.

NOTE Time On and Time Off only reset when the program closes.

• Sunrise in Local and GMT

• Sunset in Local and GMT—Displays the local and GMT time of the sunset. The sunset local time is based upon your current position on the moving map using a GPS or the GPS simulator.

displays the local and GMT time of the sunrise. The sunrise local time is based upon your current position on the moving map using a GPS or the GPS simulator.

• Current Time displays the local and Zulu time based upon the time zone of the airport nearest to your current position. The time is calculated starting from your computer clock, and adding or subtracting to match the time zone of your current position. The time zone of your current location displays below the clock time. If you are more than 150 miles from an airport, the letters of the alphabet appear indicating military time. For a list of military letter designations, visit http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timezone.htm on the Internet.

NOTE The Current Time block does not use the time zone set on your computer clock. JeppView FliteDeck looks at your current position from the GPS, and displays the time zone in that location. For example, your computer clock might be set to Eastern Time, but if you are traveling on the Pacific Coast, JeppView FliteDeck displays the current time using Pacific Time.

Block 5 — Route Information

Click this block (or press F5) to cycle between various types of information:

• Route — Leg DTK is the desired track (DTK) to each waypoint in the route from the previous waypoint. Helps you anticipate turns at upcoming waypoints.

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timezone.htm�


168

• Route — Leg Dist displays the distance for each route leg. If you are traveling on a route leg, it displays the remaining route leg distance from your present GPS position to the next waypoint.

• Route — Leg ETE is the amount of time estimated to fly each route leg based on present ground speed.

• Route — Distance shows cumulative distance from your present position to each waypoint in the route.

• Route — ETE shows cumulative ETE from your present position to each waypoint in the planned route, based on present ground speed.

• Route — ETA is estimated time of arrival in local a.m./p.m. and Zulu time at each waypoint along the route, based on present ground speed. The local time is based on the time zone of an airport near each waypoint. If the waypoint is more than 150 nautical miles from any airport, then military time (maritime) is used.

This block of information will only show the next waypoints in your waypoint list; it will not show waypoints that have already been passed. You can customize the amount of lines to display in the Track/Vertical Profile tab of the FliteDeck Setup program.

Chart Overlay After a chart is selected from the Terminal page, you can overlay that chart on the Enroute Nav page and on other pages that display enroute charts (except the Emergency page).

The Chart Overlay button is labeled with the identifier of the airport and the chart. Click this button to cycle between displaying the full chart, the Plan View (if applicable) and no overlay.

The Chart Overlay button is located in the upper right corner of the page on the Jeppesen EFB-style layout and on the status bar on the Standard Notebook Computer layouts.

Enroute Nav Page

169

Profile View The Profile View displays the following information for your route:

• Height of terrain — An approximate value for situational awareness.

• Airspace information — Blue shaded areas indicate terminal airspace, and red indicates restricted areas.

• Distance along the route in nautical miles — Shown along the top scale. You can change this in the FliteDeck Setup program to show distance remaining in the route (see Track/Vertical Profile).

• Route Waypoints — Shown along the bottom scale from left to right as your route progresses.

• Altitude profile — Purple line showing your climbs, level flight segments, and descent.

• Cleared altitude marker — A yellow line marked with an altitude is your clearance altitude set on the Plan page (see Setting the Altitude Along the Route).

• Course projection line — A gray line showing where your present vertical speed and course will take you with respect to airspace and terrain. Display course


170

projection line must be selected in the Enroute Chart tab of the FliteDeck Setup program.

When you zoom in on the enroute chart, the profile view also adjusts, although the exact scale may vary from your chart zoom level. The profile view shown above is a typical on-route ( OnRte) display. It shows the altitude profile, with terrain and airspace along the route. Even if you’re momentarily on a ground track that points toward high terrain or restricted airspace, you will not see those things on the profile as long as you are on course.

The profile view shown below is what you might see when you are off-course. The yellow OffRte flag shows in the lower left corner of the profile view. The altitude profile and the route waypoints are no longer shown. The airspace and terrain reflects what is ahead of your current ground track under the course projection line.

Displayed Weather in the Profile View

The Profile View displays weather products to help with situational awareness. If your XM weather receiver connection is active, the weather products always display. See Weather Products for additional information.

The Supplemental Track Indicator (STI)

NOTE In order for the STI to appear, FliteDeck must be receiving a valid GPS position or using the GPS Simulator.

FliteDeck’s Supplemental Track Indicator (STI) looks like a Horizontal Situation Indicator ( HSI). It is not an HSI because it cannot display the aircraft heading information. Instead, it displays your ground track against your planned course . Refer to the picture at the right to help the visualize the STI concept.

Enroute Nav Page

171

• The straight line at the top of the STI is called a lubber line. It marks the aircraft’s ground track.

• The green arrow, which is pointing down in this picture, is the bearing pointer. This pointer marks the bearing to the active waypoint

The bearing pointer’s position relative to the lubber line is a relative bearing, but not exactly as relative bearing is normally defined. The STI measures bearing relative to aircraft track, not heading.

, Moses Lake ( KMWH) in this case.

• The yellow split arrow pointing up in this picture is the course pointer. This arrow indicates the flight plan course to the active waypoint from the previous waypoint. Like an HSI, the course deviation bar indicates whether the course is to your right or left. This image shows the course is to the right, and deviating farther from course (better turn about 30 degrees right).

The STI component offers additional information at a glance:

• The active waypoint is in the upper left corner.


172

• The ground track is in the upper right corner. This is the same information that is shown graphically under the lubber line.

• Distance to the active waypoint is in the lower left corner.

• ETE to the active waypoint is in the lower right corner.

• Along the bottom is the cross-track error (distance left or right of course), and scale indicator.

There are three available scales for the STI. Click on the STI to switch between them:

Nav Mode Full-Scale Deflection:

One Dot Equals:

Enroute 2.0 nm 2430 feet

Terminal 1.0 nm 1215 feet

Approach 0.3 nm 365 feet

Getting Information About Waypoints To view information about a waypoint while you are in the Enroute Nav page or the Plan page, click on the waypoint on the chart. FliteDeck displays information on the status bar.

Viewing Airport Information You can view general airport information for both IFR and VFR airports (runway information, communication and navigation frequencies) by clicking the Info: [Airport] button on the Plan page, Terminal page, Enroute Nav page and Enroute Map page. If you have a connection to XM weather, additional weather information also displays, such as TFRs, METARs, Terminal Area Forecasts and City Forecasts (see Weather for additional information).

175

Chart Setup page

Chart Setup page The Chart Setup page allows you to show or hide different data types in the chart components, and to change the chart theme, chart track, and chart orientation.

Changing the Chart Theme Themes are different presentations of map features that emulate familiar chart types. Click the Theme button to cycle between the available chart themes.

The status bar indicates which theme you have chosen:

• Default

• European VFR

• FMS

• Jeppesen Low Altitude Enroute


176

• Jeppesen High Altitude Enroute

• Road Map (StreetVision is an optional add-on at an additional price)

The Chart Theme name displays on the Themes button and in the Status bar. Once you have chosen a base theme, you can customize it using the chart preferences along the left and right of the enroute chart (see Chart Preferences).

TIP In the FliteDeck Setup program, select only the themes you intend to use, so you do not have to cycle through all the available themes during flight. See Enroute Chart Tab for additional information.

Chart Preferences Use the buttons along the left and right side of the chart component to select the map elements to include on the enroute chart view.

These preferences apply across the range of chart scales, therefore, depending on the zoom level, FliteDeck's automatic decluttering hides or shows the map elements. A map element that displays at a zoomed-in level is hidden at some greater zoomed-out level.

TIP To override auto-decluttering, zoom out to the largest view in which you want to view a map element, and check the element to add it at that zoom level and all lower zoom levels. Note that the more elements you add, and the larger the view, the longer FliteDeck will take to redraw the large map views with all the added elements.

The Chart Setup and Enroute Nav pages share the same chart settings, including zoom level. The Plan page and the Emergency page have their own zoom levels, but they are also affected by what is selected in the Chart Setup page.

All your enroute chart settings are saved when FliteDeck closes allowing your preferences to be viewed the next time FliteDeck launches. To return the chart preferences to the original theme data set, click Theme Reset.

Satellite Weather Preferences If you have an active connection to your XM WxWorx Satellite Weather service, you can customize the weather overlay by clicking Weather Options.

Currently, FliteDeck displays the following weather products:


Chart Setup page

177

• Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD)

• Aviation Routine Weather Reports (METARs)

• Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs)

• Terminal Area Forecasts ( TAFs)

• City Forecast

• Cloud Tops

• Winds

• Surface Analysis

• Freezing Levels

Unlike the other Chart Preferences, weather products do not have a decluttering mechanism to help manage chart elements. Once the products are turned on, they display at all zoom levels up to continental. Most weather products begin to display when the view is set at approximately 600 nautical miles per square inch. METARs display when the view is at 500 nautical miles per square inch. For additional information, see Satellite Weather.

To return to the enroute chart preferences, click Chart Options.

Chart Tracking Mode When GPS position information is available, the Chart Tracking mode adjusts the enroute chart according to your aircraft position. Clicking the Chart Track button cycles between four settings:

Optimum mode shows the maximum amount of chart area ahead of the aircraft symbol, moving the chart beneath it along the planned route.

Centered mode centers your aircraft in the screen and moves the chart beneath it.

Visible mode moves your aircraft icon across the chart view. This mode requires the least CPU performance because the chart moves only when the aircraft flies off the edge.

Route mode zooms out to show the full route.

When you click one of these buttons, the status bar indicates which tracking mode you have switched to.

Chart Orientation When GPS position information is available, the chart can be rotated, the way some people like to hold paper charts. Clicking the Chart Orientation button cycles between three options:

North Up keeps the top of the chart at the top of the screen and true north, like a standard paper chart.


178

Track Up adjusts the chart so that your actual ground track points to the top of the screen.

Course Up adjusts the chart so that your planned route direction is toward the top of the screen.

You can also change the chart to north-up orientation by clicking the grey magnetic North Arrow on the chart.

179


Viewing the Text Pages FliteDeck includes all the text information from the front of the Jeppesen Airway Manual (IFR ) and in the Bottlang Airfield Manual (VFR Europe). This additional enroute chart data and text is referred to in FliteDeck as Electronic Text Data and is accessed in the Text page. Text data and controls are the same for all the FliteDeck configurations.

The Jeppesen Airway Manual displays information only in English regardless of what language you select on the Text Viewer Toolbar.

The Bottlang Airfield Manual (VFR Text) works somewhat differently because it supports multiple languages. Various categories under the Bottlang Airfield Manual support different countries (France, Germany, Austria, and so on). Each country listed has information in specific languages; all of them display in English.

• Austria has the same information in English and German.

• Belgium has the same information in English and French.

• France has the same information in English and French.

• Germany has the same information in English and German.

• Switzerland has the same information in English, German and French.

• All other countries show information in English only.

Depending on what language you select in the toolbar, some countries might not have any topics in that language. For instance, when all languages are selected, you will see all topics available for that country in the languages that it supports.

When you view the France book and change the language mode to French, you see only the topics in French.

When viewing the France book and changing the language mode to German, the topics disappear, because none of the topics in this book are in German.

Satellite Weather Initial Installation and Configuration

NOTE Go to step 2 if you just installed the Jeppesen Weather Service.

The following instructions are the recommended steps if you are using FliteDeck with your XM WxWorx Satellite Weather service for the first time. Before beginning the installation and configuration process, you must have FliteDeck version 3.3 or later.

To verify your version, open the FliteDeck Setup program and view the FliteDeck version number at the bottom of the Configuration tab. If you do not have version 3.3 or later, install it using the Internet update feature or with the CD updates received by mail (see Keeping Your Programs Up-to-Date for additional information).

STEP 1: Install Jeppesen Weather Services

If you did not install the Jeppesen Weather Service during an ECD Disc 2 update or during the electronic update to FliteDeck version 3.3:

1. Browse to the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) installer at one of the following locations depending on your computer setup:

o C:\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3\Utils (Windows XP)

o C:\Program Files\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3\Utils (Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7)

2. Double-click JeppesenWeatherServiceSetup.exe.

3. Follow the installation instructions.

STEP 2: Configure XmLink

After you have installed Jeppesen Weather Services, continue with configuring the XmLink software with your weather receiver.

If you have not already done so, install the weather receiver on your computer using the manufacturer's installation instructions, before configuring XmLink for FliteDeck. Connect the power, antenna, and USB cable to the receiver (follow the instructions provided with the receiver), and then connect the receiver to your computer USB port . Microsoft Windows will recognize the receiver and install the drivers. The receiver must have power and be connected to your computer with all the receiver drivers installed.

To configure XmLink:

1. Close XmLink if it is currently running.

• For Windows Vista and Windows 7:

Depending on how XmLink was started, you might see an icon in the task bar as with Windows 2000/XP or you might have an Interactive Services dialog detection window appear where XmLink is located in a different session (look in your taskbar for the window). If the XmLink icon is in your taskbar, follow the instructions for Window 2000/XP. Use the following directions to close XmLink if you have an Interactive Services dialog detection window:

Launching FliteDeck with Weather

After you have successfully installed and configured the Jeppesen Weather Services on your computer, use the following procedures based on your operating system to view weather in FliteDeck.

Windows Vista and Windows 7

One of the ways Vista’s security changed was by separating system services and user applications into separate ’sessions’. Keeping the system services isolated helps to better secure them, but also makes any interactive interface unavailable to the user. That’s where the Interactive Services Detection service comes in. When a service needs to interact with the user, Interactive Services Detection presents a dialog that will switch the user to the session where the service is running so they can interact with the service. XmLink has been set up as a service, so when your computer starts, the Interactive services dialog detection window appears where you can gain access to session 0 (look in your taskbar for the minimized window). The following is the recommended process to work with XmLink under the Windows Vista configuration:

1. Connect your weather receiver and ensure it has power and it is turned on.

2. In the Interactive services dialog detection window, click Show me the message. When you click Show me the message you will switch to session 0 where you can see your interactive service.


198

3. Click File > Exit in XmLink.

4. If necessary, click Yes, Exit.

5. Click Return now.

6. Double-click the XmLink icon to verify you are receiving weather data (do not close XmLink). If you are receiving weather data, the XmLink icon will also blink in your system tray (by your clock).

7. Start FliteDeck.

If you do not care about seeing the XmLink application with your connection information, you can leave it running in session 0. If you do leave it in session 0, you will have to use the Interactive services dialog detection window to check on your signal strength. The only way to have the XmLink application on your desktop for easy access is to use the procedures identified above.

After the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) and XmLink are installed and configured using the steps outlined in Initial Installation and Configuration, your configuration is complete. Every time your computer starts, JWC automatically initializes XmLink and starts to collect weather data from your receiver when it is connected. You do not need to revisit XmLink unless changes have been made to your XM subscription, weather receiver, or COM port .

If you do not see all the weather products you have subscribed to that FliteDeck displays, wait approximately five to seven minutes upon connecting your receiver. The data transmission times when XM broadcasts weather varies between each weather product which is between five and fifteen minutes.

After you have successfully installed and configured the Jeppesen Weather Services on your computer:

1. Connect your weather receiver and ensure it has power and it is turned on.

2. Double-click the XmLink icon to verify you are receiving weather data (do not close XmLink). If you are receiving weather data, the XmLink icon will also blink in your system tray (by your clock).

3. Start FliteDeck.

After the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) and XmLink are installed and configured using the steps outlined in Initial Installation and Configuration, your configuration is complete. Every time your computer starts, JWC automatically initializes XmLink and starts to collect weather data from your receiver when it is connected. You do not need to revisit XmLink unless changes have been made to your XM subscription, weather receiver, or COM port.

If you do not see all the weather products you have subscribed to that FliteDeck displays, wait approximately five to seven minutes upon connecting your receiver. The data transmission times when XM broadcasts weather varies between each weather product which is between five and fifteen minutes.

Starting Your Computer Without a Connected Weather Receiver

When you start your computer without a satellite weather receiver connected, XmLink will still try to connect to the receiver. When this occurs, the following messages appear:

1. When the XM2Nr Error dialog box appears, click OK.

2. When the XmLink dialog box requests communications setup, click No.

If you connect a weather receiver later, initialize XmLink by double-clicking the XmLink icon on your desktop.

If you do not want XmLink to initialize at startup, you can change the setting to where XmLink starts when you launch JeppView FliteDeck, or you can completely disable it. See Advanced Configuration of JWC for additional information.

Displaying Cached Weather Data


200

As you receive weather files from your weather receiver, they are stored to your hard drive in a designated location determined by XmLink and the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) installer. After XmLink collects the weather data from the weather receiver and places it in the XmLink data folder, JWC collects the XmLink data and caches it in its own folder that FliteDeck uses.

• For Windows XP, the JWC folder resides in the same location as the FliteDeck folder on your hard drive. For instance, if you installed FliteDeck in the default location (C:\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3), the JWC folder will be located at C:\Jeppesen\JWC.

• For Windows Vista and Windows 7, the data resides in the C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\JWC\XMWeather folder.

If you have collected weather data in the last 48 hours, there is a good chance the weather files are still located there. To find the cached weather files, browse to the JWC folder, and then open the XMWeather folder. If you are collecting weather information or have collected weather lately, you should see a variety of weather folders (cloud tops, freezing, METARs, radar, and so on). The cached files reside in the appropriate folders.

When the weather products expire, they no longer display in FliteDeck. This ensures that you are not viewing old and expired information.

The weather files residing in the cached folders have four associated timestamps:

• issue date

• time received

• valid start time

• expiration time

After the data is cached, FliteDeck displays the weather from the valid start time to the expiration time. In other words, if you collect the weather data for twenty minutes to ensure you receive all the weather products, you can essentially disconnect the weather receiver and still be able to display weather in FliteDeck for another 47 hours and 40 minutes.

Many pilots who must fly multiple legs and do not want extra clutter in the cockpit connect to their weather receiver before takeoff. They then ensure they are getting weather data, allow it to cache for approximately twenty minutes, or until all the weather products display in JeppView FliteDeck, then disconnect the receiver and use the cached data while flying. When they reach the next destination, they repeat the process to get up-to-date information.

There are a few things to keep in mind if using this process to view weather in JeppView FliteDeck:

• Because you are not seeing live weather from a satellite feed, the rate of error is increased slightly. You are at your own risk when viewing cached data from your hard drive. Even though the data is correct between the valid time and expired time, you are not receiving constant updated information. Having the correct time on your computer ensures that the data that is to expire actually is removed from the FliteDeck display when it is supposed to.

• Make sure your computer clock is set to the correct time and time zone at all times.

• View the weather legends to display the age of the data. When you first connect to the weather receiver and start to display weather data in FliteDeck, check the age of the data before disconnecting. The more recent the data, the longer you might be able to display weather from the cache directory. The weather data expires at

Satellite Weather

201

various times depending on the weather product. Some weather products are valid for many hours (such as freezing levels and winds), and some data might expire in an hour (METARs).

Currently, there is no access within JeppView FliteDeck to display the times that the weather products are to expire.

Advanced Configuration of the Jeppesen Weather Controller

This topic describes the following startup options of the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC):

• Automatic

• Manual

• Disabling JWC

NOTE You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete the procedures described below. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing these procedures.

Automatic Startup

By default, every time your computer starts, JWC automatically initializes XmLink to collect weather data from your receiver. If a receiver is not connected, the XM2Nr Error dialog box appears. The benefit of having JWC and XmLink start automatically at startup is that weather data can be collected immediately when a weather receiver is connected.

If you do not want JWC to initialize XmLink at startup, you can change the start-up option to a manual setting or disable it completely.

If you changed the startup option of JWC, and you want to place it back into the automatic startup default setting where it starts every time your computer powers on:

1. Open the Services Console by using one of the following methods:

• Click Start > Run, enter services.msc, and then click OK.

• Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.

• Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.

2. Right-click Jeppesen Weather Controller Services and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.

3. In the General tab, select Automatic from the Startup type drop-down list.


5. In the Services Console, click File > Close.

Manual Startup


202

The following method stops JWC from starting when you power on your computer. However, it will initialize and start XmLink when FliteDeck starts.

To change the JWC startup to manual:


• Click Start > Run, and enter services.msc, and then click OK.




3. In the General tab, select Manual from the Startup type drop-down list.


5. Click File > Exit.

When you power on your computer, JWC will no longer initialize XmLink. However, when you start FliteDeck, JWC will initialize and launch XmLink. If a receiver is not connected, the XM2Nr Error dialog box appears. At this time, you have the option to connect a receiver or dismiss the message.

Use the following method if you are using the manual startup setting, and you want to start collecting weather data before starting FliteDeck:

1. Connect and power on your weather receiver.





3. Right-click Jeppesen Weather Controller Services and choose Start from the shortcut menu.

4. When XmLink appears, configure your receiver and start FliteDeck.

Satellite Weather Troubleshooting

If you do not see weather in FliteDeck, use the following troubleshooting tips to help narrow down the problem.

Did you install the Jeppesen Weather Services?

Before satellite weather can be seen in FliteDeck, you must install the Jeppesen Weather Controller Services and configure XmLink. For additional information, see Initial Installation and Configuration.

Is the computer clock set to the correct time and time zone?

FliteDeck uses your computer clock and GMT time to determine the valid dates and time of the weather data you are receiving. If your clock is incorrect, you might not see any weather data in FliteDeck.


204

To change your computer's time and time zone:

1. Open Date and Time Properties dialog box using one of the following methods:

• Double-click the clock in the task bar.

• Click Start > Control Panel > Date and Time.

2. On the Date & Time tab, and select the item you want to change.

• To change the hour, double-click the hour, and then click the arrows to increase or decrease the value.

• To change the minutes, double-click the minutes, and then click the arrows to increase or decrease the value.

• To change the seconds, double-click the seconds, and then click the arrows to increase or decrease the value.

• To change the AM/PM indicator, select it, and then click the arrows.

3. To change your time zone, click the Time Zone tab. In the box above the map, click the drop-down arrow, and then click your current time zone.

Are you receiving weather data in the XmLink folder?

Verify that you are receiving weather data in the XmLink folder. The location of the XmLink data folder depends on which application first installed XmLink:

• If you did not have an application that used XmLink before installing the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC), the JWC installer places the XmLink data in the C:\ Jeppesen\JWC\XmLink\data folder. If you did not use the default installation folder for FliteDeck, JWC will reside in the same folder as where you assigned FliteDeck.

• If you had another application installed that uses XmLink (such as WxWorx on Wings© ), it might be located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\XMLink\data.

In XmLink's Data folder, you should see files that end in X01 (X-zero-one) as seen in the image below.

Satellite Weather

205

If you do not see any files (X01 or X02), check your receiver connection and satellite signal using XmLink. If you have more than one application that uses XmLink, make sure you are viewing the correct folder. The location of where XmLink resides depends on what application installed it first.

If you only see X02 files:

1. Close XmLink (do not minimize).

2. Browse to the C:\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3\Utils folder and double-click JeppesenWeatherServiceSetup.exe.

3. In the Welcome dialog box, select Repair Service Installation, and then click Next.

4. After the repair is complete, JWC launches XmLink. Configure your weather receiver.

5. Check for X01 files in the XmLink data directory. After the weather receiver is connected, it may take up to 5 minutes for the files to appear.

If you are seeing X01 files and still not seeing weather in FliteDeck, continue with the next question.

Are the weather files being cached in JWC's XMWeather folder?

After XmLink collects the weather data from the weather receiver and places it in the XmLink data folder, the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) collects the XmLink data and caches it in its own folder that FliteDeck uses.


206

• For Windows XP, the JWC folder resides in the same location as the FliteDeck folder on the user's hard drive. For instance, you installed FliteDeck in the default location (C:\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3), the JWC folder will be located at C:\Jeppesen\JWC.

• For Windows Vista and Windows 7, the data resides in the C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\JWC\XMWeather folder.

Browse to the JWC folder, and open the XMWeather folder. If you are collecting weather information, you should see a variety of weather folders (cloud tops, freezing, METARs, radar, and so on). If the weather folders are available, check the date and time the folder was last modified. If the data is more than 30 minutes old:

1. Close XmLink (do not minimize).


A. Click Start > Run, and enter services.msc, and then click OK.

B. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.

C. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.

3. Right-click Jeppesen Weather Controller Services and choose Stop from the shortcut menu.

4. Delete all the contents in the XMWeather folder.

5. In the Services Console, right-click Jeppesen Weather Controller Services and choose Start from the shortcut menu.

6. Configure your receiver with XmLink.


It will take approximately five to seven minutes for weather data to start appearing in FliteDeck.

Is there a satellite signal?

To determine if you are receiving satellite weather, open XmLink. When XmLink starts, and when it is minimized, its task bar button is removed and only the double headed arrow icon is shown in the system tray (near the time display). To display the XmLink main screen, do either of the following:

• Double-click the XmLink icon on your desktop or in the system tray.>

• Right-click the XmLink icon in the system tray and choose Show Console from the menu.

• If you are a Windows Vista user, XmLink might be displayed in session 0. For more information, see Launching FliteDeck with Weather.

Shown in the main window of XmLink is the signal quality data that is periodically delivered by the receiver. In addition to the general status, the Bit Error Rate ( BER) for both satellites and any ground repeater is shown. Low values of BER indicate good reception. When a very high BER is associated with a source, it is shown as >999, which essentially means no signal.

Satellite Weather

207

It is not necessary to receive both satellites. Excellent performance can be obtained from only one. The signal quality is also recorded in the log at the top of every minute.

If you are still not receiving a signal:

• Ensure the antenna has a view of the Southern sky and the receiver is activated through XM Listener Care (1-800-985-9200).

• In airplanes with heated windshields, there can be signal interference which prevents the portable receiver from working properly.

• If your receiver has been inactive for several months, you might need to refresh your service. Refresh your service over the Internet at www.xmradio.com/refresh or by phone at 1-800-985-9200. You will need your 8 digit receiver serial number.

• You may have received a defective receiver. Contact the receiver manufacture to troubleshoot and potentially return your receiver and receive a new one. If you are using a receiver from WxWorx, contact WxWorx at 256-319-9679. In order to return a receiver, a Return Merchandise Authorization ( RMA) is required.

Is the right COM port assigned?

You can identify the serial port that your receiver is connected to by looking in the Device Manager. If you have not already done so, you need to install the weather receiver on your computer based upon the manufacturer's installation instructions. Connect the power and USB cable to the receiver (follow the instructions provided with the receiver), and then connect the receiver to your computer USB port. Microsoft Windows will recognize the receiver and install the drivers. The receiver must have power and be connected to your computer with all the receiver drivers installed.

To verify your COM port in the Device Manager:

1. Open the System Properties dialog box by doing one of the following:

• Right-click My Computer and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.

• Windows XP: Click Start > Control Panel > System.

• Windows Vista and Windows 7: Start > Control Panel > System.

2. Click the Hardware tab (Windows XP only).

3. Click Device Manager.

4. Click the plus sign (+) beside Ports (COM & LPT).

5. The COM port number appears behind the USB Serial Port device.

http://www.xmradio.com/refresh/�


208

NOTE If your computer has several USB ports and you plug the receiver into a different port than the port Windows originally assigned, then Windows might assign a different COM port number. The COM port setting depends on the device number chosen by the driver and the operating system. Typically, it will be higher than COM2.

Is XmLink open?

XmLink must be running in order for satellite weather to display in FliteDeck. If it is running, you will see the XmLink icon in your system tray (near the time display). If XmLink is not running, double-click the XmLink icon on your desktop to start the service.

If you open XmLink to review your XM subscription and signal strength, make sure you do not close XmLink when you are finished. To remove the XmLink screen from your desktop, click the Minimize button on the top right corner of the program.

Most weather products begin to display when the view is set at approximately 600 nautical miles per square inch. METARs display when the view is at 500 nautical miles per square inch. Display the graphic scale to determine the view scale.

TIP FliteDeck uses your system clock to determine if a weather product can display by comparing the system time to the entry and expiration dates of the weather products. It is important to have your clock set to the accurate date, time, and time zone.

The following table is an overview of weather products currently available in FliteDeck and where the information is available.

Satellite Weather

213

• Wx: ON — Displays all the selected weather products.

• Wx: Lgnd — Displays the weather and the associated legend (see Displaying the Legend below).

• Wx: OFF — Hides the weather products.

If you did not install the Jeppesen Weather Services or do not have a valid XM Weather subscription, the Wx button is disabled.

NOTE Weather displayed in the Profile View (on the Enroute Nav page) cannot be turned on or off. As long as the weather products are being received from your weather receiver, they display regardless of the settings in the Chart Setup page or the weather on/off button on the Enroute Nav page.

Displaying the Legend

In the Chart Setup page, select Weather Options. Select the Legend Key check box to display a full legend for each of the selected weather products.

In the Plan, Enroute,and Emergency pages, click the Wx button to display the legend on any of the pages. The Terminal page does not show the legend due to layout and space limitations.

Each full legend entry provides the following information:

• Name of the weather product.

• Age — how many hours and minutes since the last data file was downloaded. When age is shown in red as "N/A", no data has been downloaded for this product within a usable time frame.

• Altitude — for weather products that are reported at specific altitudes, such as winds aloft, icing, and turbulence.

• Explanation of the graphic symbology on the chart.

The abbreviated legend shows only name, age, and altitude when relevant.


214

NOTE Weather product colors may vary depending on what chart object it overlays. For instance, enabling terrain or using the FMS chart theme darkens the colors on the enroute charts.

Where "N/A" appears on the weather legend for a product, the data is not being received, either because it is not broadcast, or your subscription does not include that weather product.


NEXRAD is a Doppler radar that detects movement using the principle that radar signals reflected from a moving object undergo a change in frequency related to the speed of the object toward or away from the radar antenna. NEXRAD uses this information to calculate the speed and direction of storm movement. This can be particularly useful for identifying conditions which can eventually lead to severe weather.

NEXRAD Overlay

To view NEXRAD on all the chart components:


2. Click Weather Options.

3. Select the NEXRAD check box.

4. Click a page tab you wish to view weather.

5. Click the Wx button to display and hide weather.

NEXRAD appears over all the enroute chart views when the view is at approximately 600 nautical miles per square inch. It also appears over any selected geo-referenced terminal chart displayed in the Terminal page. The cloud returns are more opaque the more you are zoomed out on the enroute chart. As you zoom in, the returns become more transparent allowing you to view other navigational information easily. On some tablet devices, the degree of contrast will vary, making the colors look more or less intense as the translucency of the fill areas changes.

• Temperature is shown in degrees Fahrenheit.

• Dewpoint is shown in degrees Fahrenheit.

• Altimeter Setting is shown in inches of mercury.

TIP The simple conversion formulas from Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F), and for the conversion of F back to C are as follows:

• F = 1.8*C + 32

• C = (F - 32)/1.8

The following list shows the minimums and color associations:

VFR Visibility > = 3 AND Cloud Ceiling > = 1500 (ft AGL)

MVFR Visibility > = 2 AND Cloud Ceiling > = 1000 (ft AGL)

IFR Visibility > =1 AND Cloud Ceiling > = 300 (ft AGL)

LIFR Visibility < 1 OR Cloud Ceiling < 300 (ft AGL)

The METAR symbols are similar to what is used in aviation weather depiction charts. The areas depicted in black are shaded with the colors associated with above.

Winds

XM Weather provides wind speed and direction from the surface up to 42,000 feet in altitude, presented in 3,000 foot increments. True wind direction is shown by the orientation

Satellite Weather

225

of the wind pointer. Velocity is indicated by barbs and/or pennants attached to the wind pointer. One short barb is 5 knots, a longer barb is 10 knots, and a pennant is 50 knots (see Legend and Age of Data for a graphical representation).

Winds Overlay

To view winds on all the chart components:



3. Select the Winds check box.



Wind data appears over all the enroute chart views when the view is at approximately 600 nautical miles per square inch and closer. It also appears over any geo-referenced terminal chart displayed in the Terminal page.

In the example below, the GPS Simulator is at 13,500 feet. The winds displayed are within the 3,000 ft increment received from XM Weather.

When using an actual GPS, you can view the altitude in block 2 of the Enroute Nav page (See Flight Information Blocks for additional information).


226

Wind stations are approximately 80 miles apart, so many terminal charts will not have a wind barb overlay unless the wind station is in close proximity to the airport.

Selecting Wind Altitude

Satellite Weather

227

The wind altitude seen on the enroute chart and terminal chart is dictated from the altitude of the GPS input or the altitude set within the GPS simulator (see Learning FliteDeck with the GPS Simulator Trainer). If a GPS is not available or FliteDeck is configured to be a terminal chart viewer only, you can display wind information at a specific altitude by doing the following:


2. In the Enter Waypoint

3. Click Cleared to [altitude] ft/m.

text box, enter the desired altitude to view wind information (8500, FL120). With the flight level format, do not place any spaces between FL and the value.

The altitude entered displays on the legend. Selecting a route does not change the altitude of the winds. If you need to see winds at a different altitude, you must repeat the steps outlined above. When positional data is present using a GPS or the GPS simulator, the altitude of the wind data shown uses the present position altitude and ignores the manual altitude set with the Cleared to [altitude] ft/m button.


To view the age of the data, click Wx on any of the pages (except the Text page and the Terminal page does not display legend information) until the Winds legend appears (see Displaying the Legend for additional information). On the legend there is a counter displaying the age of the data and the altitude that winds are being displayed.


Wind Data in the Profile View

In the Profile View, winds are displayed as blue arrows at different altitudes. The arrow length indicates the relative strength of the wind component. The longer the arrow the faster the wind speed. Weather symbols are always displayed in the Profile View as long as the wind data is being received from your weather receiver. At this time, an option to hide the information is not available. See Profile View for additional information.

Surface Analysis

The surface analysis depicts current conditions of surface fronts, as well as high and low pressure centers. The pressure is measured at the center of the system in millibar units; cold and warm fronts are indicated along with the front’s direction of movement.


228

Surface Analysis Overlay

Freezing Levels in the Profile View

The freezing level on the Profile View is seen as a white line displayed at the altitude reported for freezing. If you come across a view where the freezing level stops at a particular point and draws a vertical line, it means the data stops at that point and there is no information at that location. Weather symbols are always displayed in the Profile View as long as it is being received from your XM Weather service. At this time, an option to hide the information is not available.

Troubleshooting and Getting Help

Troubleshooting and Information This chapter outlines general troubleshooting techniques as well as common questions. You may also want to check the Readme file for latest information.

Installation Troubleshooting I received the JeppView3 program and Electronic Chart Data CDs, but am unable to find a regional code. How does JeppView know what regions I want?The serial number you were given is associated with chart coverage of a specific region you requested when you ordered JeppView. When you use the Electronic Chart Data installer and the update agent from your Electronic Chart Data subscription, they automatically recognize your region selections. All you need to record for future reference is your serial number.

How do I add other regions to my subscription?Please see Expanding your Regional Coverage Area for additional information.

I have FliteDeck installed on four computers. How can I install it on a newly purchased computer?Your license allows installation of any combination of JeppView and FliteDeck on only four computers. To install the program on a new PC, deactivate JeppViewFliteDeck3 on one of the original computers. Jeppesen support can help you get set up as long as the use falls within the terms of the agreement.

I get an error message stating that I have exceeded all my site keys.You are trying to install FliteDeck on more computers than the license allows. To activate the program on a new machine and have use of the installation for longer than the 30-day trail period, deactivate one of the other current JeppViewFliteDeck3 programs, or call Jeppesen support for assistance. To install the program on more than four machines, call Jeppesen Sales to order another licensed version of JeppView.

Installing to the tablet, the installer says the computer "does not have the minimum resolution required."The installer will only install in landscape mode (wider). This message appears when the tablet is set up for portrait screen orientation (taller). The workaround is to set the screen to landscape, run and complete the installation, then reset to portrait.

General Questions and Troubleshooting Are you having one or more of the following problems?

• Blank screens

• Corrupt data


260

• Display failures

• Button or tab font/layout corruption

• Other display problems

Click here to see resolutions.

The problems mentioned can be caused by a corrupt configuration file. To try and resolve the situation, try the following technique:

Verify your Tablet PC is in "Windows Mode" if using ADR Shell.

1. Delete the FliteDeck3.ini file in c:\windows.

2. Restart the computer and open FliteDeck. The system will act as if it's a new installation.

3. Complete the Interview and launch FliteDeck.

Are you having problems installing or reading a new CD from Jeppesen where you receive one of the following errors?

• Windows or Installshield generates Runtime errors etc.

• " ISRT - DLL Function call crash"

• "Insert Disc 0 that Contains the File DATA3.CAB"

• Scratch.bfd errors

• CRC (cyclic redundancy check) errors

• Component Transfer Error

• An installation support file could not be extracted

• Other errors

Click here to see resolutions.

These failures are normally caused by a CD/ DVD drive not reading the Jeppesen CDs correctly. It is most common on Tablet computers with external USB or PCMCIA CD or DVD Drives. Use the following troubleshooting methods to determine if it's the drive or the media.

RESOLUTION 1

Look at the CD and ensure there are no smudges or scratches. Use compressed air to clean out the CD drive.

RESOLUTION 2

If able, try another computer (preferably a desktop) to verify there is a problem with the CD. If it fails in the second computer, you know you have a bad CD unless the computer is the same model.

My charts used to display and now they're gone - what happened?

When the terminal chart subscription is more than 60 days past the effective date, the electronic charts no longer display. Download and install an update, or contact Customer Service to renew the subscription so you can update.

Why am I not seeing the Emergency Page, the STI or the Flight Information Blocks?

These flight information components are hidden because FliteDeck is set up not to receive position information. To view these components, open the FliteDeck Setup and click the GPS tab. Select Use simulator or connect a GPS and select GPS Connected. Restart FliteDeck to view the changes.


264

Why can’t I zoom in on the chart and still show my aircraft?

Route tracking mode shows the whole route on the screen at all times. Go to the Chart Setup tab and change to another tracking mode.

Is there a way in FliteDeck to draw a user-defined boundary similar to what is in FliteStar?

Currently, FliteDeck does not have a boundary tool.

What's the easiest way to get started using FliteDeck?

Use the setup program to choose a configuration (display style and size) and set up your GPS. It is highly recommended to use the Interviews available from any tab in the Setup program.

If you are using FliteDeck to only view terminal charts, practice setting up and using the Clipboard. If you are interested in route planning features, start by creating a simple route and viewing Route charts in the Terminal page. You can also connect a GPS or use the GPS Simulator to view your position on the enroute and terminal charts, and display information on the Enroute Nav and Emergency page.

Do I need a GPS to run FliteDeck?

No, but GPS input adds so much functionality to FliteDeck that we highly recommend it.

Without a GPS, we turn off the features that rely on position information, including direction, and speed (STI, Direct To button, Flight Information Blocks, Chart Track button, Chart Orientation button, Nav Info bars, and the Emergency page). For familiarization and training, use the provided GPS simulator.

Do I need FliteStar to plan routes for FliteDeck?

No, you can create simple routes within FliteDeck. However, FliteStar offers many advanced route planning features you may be interested in using. To quickly get started, review Creating a New Route.

Can FliteDeck use routes that I planned in FliteStar, or created in JeppView?

Yes. Routes that are created in either FliteStar or JeppView can be viewed and edited in FliteDeck. Ensure that the RoutePack directory where they are saved is the same one selected in the Routes tab of the FliteDeck Setup program.

What does "Off Rte" mean in the Enroute Nav page Profile View?

This is an indicator telling you that the terrain depicted in the profile view is not the terrain beneath your planned route. Instead it is telling you that the terrain shown in the profile view is the terrain in front of you, on your projected track.


265

Is there a "VFR" theme, like in FliteStar?

No, but you can use the Chart Setup page to turn on terrain and set other features to make the enroute chart look the way you want it to look.

Why do I see localizers when they are turned off in the Chart Setup page?

In the Low Altitude Enroute theme, some localizers connected to formations display when the Intersections are selected.

Can I use the STI to fly an ADF approach?

The following technique is not to replace your ADF in the cockpit because it does not take into account external dependencies, such as crosswinds. When comparing the STI to an ADF, there may be some differences where the waypoint resides in relation to your actual position.

There are two techniques that can be used, so that the STI acts as an ADF. You can place a single waypoint in the Route Waypoint list, or turn sequencing off while the active waypoint is the first waypoint in your route. With an active connection from your GPS (or with the


266

GPS simulator), the STI will use your current position, continually updating, and point with the bearing pointer in the direction of the waypoint. This technique differs from a direct-to procedure as the direct to instantly draws a route line from where it was set.

How can I view different languages for the Airway Manual?

The Airway Manual only supports English.

In the Bottlang Airfield Manual, I am trying to view some topics in the Germany section, but there are none available. How do I display the topics?

Verify the language mode is set for All, German, or English by pressing the appropriate language icon on the toolbar. See the Text Viewer Toolbar for more information.

The same holds true if you are trying to view topics in the France or United Kingdom category. Ensure the appropriate language is selected.

GPS Troubleshooting

My USB GPS doesn’t work when I try to set it up in the FliteDeck Setup program.

You must first install the software that came with the GPS, and the GPS must be plugged into your computer.

Your GPS must be outside to get a usable signal.

I don't know what "port" or "baud rate" my GPS uses. Help!

You can use the GPS testing buttons in the FliteDeck Setup program to automatically find characteristics of your GPS, like communication port, baud rate (data transmission speed), and even the type of output the GPS uses. See GPS Tab for more information.

My GPS is connected to a serial port, but I am still unable to get a connection to it.

There are some programs that use serial ports and block the connection even if you are not actively using the program. You will need to free the COM port before using it to connect a GPS. For instance, if you use Microsoft ActiveSync for a PocketPC, ensure the connection is cleared within its application. In Microsoft ActiveSync v3.x:

1. Open Microsoft ActiveSync.

2. Click File > Connection Settings.

3. Clear Allow serial cable or infrared connection to this COM Port.

4. The next time you want to connect a device to ActiveSync, you will need to assign the COM port back to ActiveSync.

Why isn't the GPS connection more reliable?


267

FliteDeck does not control the quality of your GPS connection; it only reports it on the status bar. FliteDeck also does not display your internal GPS status (number of satellites, signal strength, geometry, etc.). Check your GPS unit or GPS software for that. The FliteDeck software is very robust when you are connected correctly to the GPS, and when the GPS is outputting valid position data. If you see RED, check the connection; if you see YELLOW, check the GPS status, if you see GREEN, you are good to go.

How do I share a COM port between a GPS and another application?

Franson Technology has an application that may be useful for dual use issues. For more information, visit www.franson.com.

Input Device Information A pointing device is any computer hardware component that allows a user to input spatial data to a computer. While the most common pointing device is the mouse, other kinds include:

• Passive and Active Pens

• Force Sticks

• Touch Pads

• Touchscreens

• Trackballs

• Presentation Pointers

The following sections briefly cover some of the limitations and some solutions that may help you.

Most tablets will have a program to adjust pen or touchscreen settings. You should try various options before using FliteDeck in the airplane to find the settings you like most. For help in specific troubleshooting problems using Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC, see Input Device Troubleshooting.

Mouse

Within the airplane, a traditional mouse that uses a trackball and a mouse-pad is unpractical and inconvenient. There are a few mouse types, however, that do work well with FliteDeck.

• An optical mouse can be used successfully with a kneeboard.

• A mini-mouse meant for portable use with laptops actually can work quite well.

• A wireless mouse (especially Bluetooth) eliminate the problem of cord tangles and are more familiar to most people then other pointing devices.

Pens (Passive or Active)

The passive pen can sense and respond to pressure from any object, including a finger. An active pen, supplied with the more professional level Tablet PCs, incorporates an electronic device that communicates with the surface of the Tablet’s display. The position of the pen can be seen over the screen without the pen actually touching the display.

http://www.franson.com/�


268

When holding your arm out-stretched, the pointing precision is greatly reduced. When adding in the motion of the plane (and turbulence), most users find it impossible to click on medium to small buttons. To improve the pointing precision, move the display closer, tilt the display so that it is flat instead of vertical, and brace your hand against the display or its edge.

The pen interacts with the computer when it is pushed slightly on the screen and released (the push-tip switch has been triggered). Depending on the pen, you may get many fast-clicks when trying to position your hand over the intended point on the screen. The best fix for fast-clicks is to keep the pen away from the display until a click is wanted.

Many of the pens have a button on the side which is held down while tapping on the screen to display a right-click menu. With the bouncing in an aircraft, unintentional right-clicks can occur. Many people hold the pen in such a way that the button is pressed all or part of the time. This causes the pen to act irrationally because FliteDeck ignores most right-click actions.

Force Sticks

Force sticks have proven hard to control in turbulence. They can work well if located on yoke and operated with the thumb. There is no motion feedback, so accuracy is low.

Touch Pads

A touch pad works by sensing your finger movement and downward pressure. The stroke length is limited on most touch pads, so large route drags are a problem. In turbulence, the pad software has trouble with the finger bouncing. Some also have problems with the varying spot size. Most touch pads are NOT pressure sensitive. They are directly affected by movement of your finger tip on surface of the touch pad, so wearing gloves and using pens will not work. The double-tap used to click features can also present problems in turbulence. The application can also get confused when fingers or other parts of the hand slightly brush the touch pad.

Touchscreens

A touchscreen is an input device that allows you to operate a PC by simply touching the display screen. A disadvantage to touchscreens is that you can not brace your hand on the screen. Laying the screen in your lap often causes problems because maps and other equipment may accidentally be positioned on the display. This may generate random actions that were not intended. Turbulence also causes the same problems as those found when using a touch pad.

Plastic pens or finger pointers can make the display easier to use and more precise. This negates some of the touch screen advantage over the active or passive pens because you now have a pen to keep track of, but if you drop it, you can just go back to your finger.

Most touchscreens are easy to scratch and you should NEVER use a metal tipped object to point with because the scratches will eventually make the screen impossible to see through.

Trackballs


269

A trackball is a pointing device consisting of a ball housed in a socket containing sensors to detect rotation of the ball about two axes-like an upside-down mouse, but with the ball sticking out more. You roll the ball with your thumb, fingers, or the palm of your hand to move a cursor. Trackballs are unfamiliar to most people. Because your hand is braced, trackballs can work very well in turbulence once a comfortable trackball is found.

There are many different forms of trackballs. Some run with the index finger or index and middle finger tips. Others trackballs can be run with the palm or with the thumb. A thumb trackball with switches under the fingers requires NO arm movement while the others can require varying amounts of arm movement. Also the thumb type provides the best hand bracing in turbulence.

Presentation Pointers

Presentation pointers are typically hand-held wireless devices that look like TV remote controls. The simple ones are NOT a replacement for a mouse, but the high-end devices can perform full mouse support. Some use a rocker pad that lets you drive the pointer around the screen. Some are gyro based and respond to being tilted. Both types can work well in turbulence because they allow a good grip and are independent of the motions induced by the turbulence.

Input Device Troubleshooting

When using my pen to select or tap an item, something other than what was intended is selected.

To improve the accuracy of the pen position, you should calibrate your Tablet PC digitizer. The digitizer is basically a thin film built into the screen that interacts with the magnetic tip in your pen. The calibration is also affected by how you view the screen (from above, on the right or left, or straight on). If you complete a calibration viewing the screen on the left, you will view the calibration marks at a different angle then if you looked at it straight on. To calibrate the digitizer:

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Tablet and Pen Settings.

2. In the Tablet and Pen Settings dialog box, select the Settings tab and click Calibrate.

3. Click OK when finished.

When I try to edit my route using the rubberband method or resize my enroute chart using a zoom draw, the pen thinks I want to do a right-click. How do I fix this?

Change the amount of time that you must press and hold before a right-click menu takes effect:


2. In the Tablet and Pen Settings dialog box, select the Pen Options tab.

3. In the Pen Action section, select Press and hold, and click Settings.

4. In the Right-click mode activation section, adjust the speed slider toward Long.

You will need to hold the pen down for a longer period of time before a right-click equivalent is activated.

Every time I get the pen close to the enroute or terminal chart, it thinks I want to perform a zoom draw. How do I fix this?

You need to adjust the point spatial tolerance on your tablet PC:


2. In the Tablet and Pen Settings dialog box, select the Pen Options tab.

3. In the Pen Action section, select Point/Hover, and click Settings.

4. Adjust the spatial tolerance slider toward Large.

Your hand will be able to move around more when you point.

When I perform a zoom draw on an enroute chart or on the terminal chart, the blue zoom box appears but nothing happens when I release the mouse button or remove the pen. It acts as if it is waiting for another action.

The ClickLock setting may be selected. With ClickLock on, you need to click or tap again on the screen in order for the zoom to take place. To turn ClickLock off so that the zoom takes place as soon as you release the mouse button or the pen:

1. Click Start > Control Panel > Mouse.

2. In the Mouse Properties dialog box, clear the ClickLock check box.
