ADDITIONAL FEATURES

NOTE:

A subdued softkey label indicates the function is disabled.

FliteCharts time critical information can also be found on the AUX - System Status Page. The FliteCharts

database ‘REGION’, ‘CYCLE’ number, ‘EFFECTIVE’, ‘EXPIRES’, and ‘DISABLES’ dates of the subscription appear
in either blue or yellow text. Dates shown in blue are current data. Dates shown in yellow indicate the data is
not within the current subscription period.

FliteCharts becomes inoperative 180 days after the FliteCharts ‘EXPIRES’ date is reached, and is no longer

available for viewing. This date is shown as the ‘DISABLES’ date. After the disable date the SHW CHRT Softkey
label appears subdued and is unavailable until a revised issue of FliteCharts is installed.

Press the DBASE Softkey for scrolling through the database information. Scroll through the database with

the FMS knob or ENT Key.

The FliteCharts database cycle number shown in Figure 8-55, ‘0604’ is broken down as follows:

06 – Indicates the year 2006
