Chart View (CHART) Function
(Optional)
The optional MX20 Chart View feature provides the
capability to view Jeppesen Sanderson Inc. electronic
charts. Two basic types of charts can be viewed: Approach
charts and airport surface charts.
Approach charts can be manually loaded and overlaid on
the moving map during flight, while airport surface charts
are automatically overlaid while on the ground. Both
types of charts are also viewable from the Chart View
Function in a chart manual fashion. Approach charts may
also be loaded automatically when installed with a
CNX-series GPS receiver.
The electronic chart data is generated from the standard
Jeppesen CD ROM product, which is distributed and
updated by Jeppesen on a two-week schedule. The
in-flight data resides on the pilot removable front-loading
data card and is updated by the pilot using a home
PC-based data loader.
The MX20 Chart View feature does not currently
represent a sole replacement for the paper chart within the
cockpit. The presentation of the chart data is intended for
supplemental use and to provide additional situational
awareness. The pilot must still have access to the printed
chart as required by FAA regulations.
