Detailed Operation
•
Pressing the
Info
key while a chart is loaded or
being viewed will bring up the header, profile,
and minimums associated with the chart.
chart data Source
The same set of charts that are available in elec-
tronic form from the Jeppesen JeppView™ product
are available for loading onto the GMX 200 platform.
These consist of approaches, SIDS, STARS, airspace
charts, and airport surface diagrams. The GMX 200
can display all of these charts from the ChartView
Function, or a limited sub-set as dynamic overlays on
the “Custom Map” when the corresponding chart has
been “Geo-Referenced” by Jeppesen.
Data Card
Managing the charts that are loaded onto the data
card is performed using the data loader software tool
provided by Jeppesen. The GMX 200 ChartView data
card can hold approximately 10,000 charts at a given
time.
Chart Geo-Referencing
For the ownship position to be overlaid on the
chart (as viewed from the Custom/IFR Map), the chart
must be available in a “Geo-Referenced” version, as
supplied by Jeppesen. Currently not all charts and
airport surface charts are geo-referenced.
When a chart is viewed and a red “X” is present
on the earth symbol (to the left of the chart name),
the chart is NOT geo-referenced and thus cannot be
“loaded.”
Hot Spots
Airport diagrams may show areas where extra
vigilance is recommended due to traffic congestion,
visibility constraints, or other unique circumstances.
These areas are called hot spots and are identified by
circular or elliptical lines. Although these areas are
highlighted as places where extra caution is war-
ranted and advised, they do not relieve the pilot of
the responsibility to “see and avoid” other traffic or
obstacles, on the airport surface or in the air. All taxi-
way and runway intersections should be approached
with caution, whether they are marked with hot spots
or not. Hot spots are derived from database informa-
tion and may therefore contain errors or may not be
included in the database.
chart overlay in the custom/IFr Map
On the Custom Map or the IFR En Route Map,
approach charts (not airport surface charts) must be
manually “loaded” as there are multiple approach
charts that can apply for a given region (i.e. multiple
approach charts for the same airport). An approach
chart will be displayed as an overlay when the follow-
ing conditions are met:
•
The approach chart is within the database on the
card
•
The approach chart is geo-referenced
•
The approach chart has been loaded
•
The aircraft position is within the coverage of the
approach chart
•
The aircraft speed is above the air/ground thresh-
old (aircraft is in flight)
Load a specific approach chart for use as an over-
lay by first selecting the airport and then selecting the
approach chart.
Selecting the Airport
Pressing the
Load Chart
key on the Custom or IFR
Map function will present a list of airports that have
geo-referenced approach charts available. The first
airport within the list is the destination waypoint as
