Adding/Deleting a Temporary Airport
The OPT application can accommodate data for an airport and a runway that is not
included in the database. The Add Airport page allows the user to enter temporary
airport data and to calculate takeoff or landing performance based on that entry.
Only one airport and one runway can be added at a time.
Note: The OPT removes all of the data for the added airport when either the
FLIGHT INITIALIZE or FLIGHT CLOSE soft key is selected. The OPT
also deletes the temporary airport data should the EFB be completely
powered down. Permanent airport data must be added by the administrator.
Add a temporary airport from the Takeoff or Landing page by selecting the ADD
ARPT soft key and then set the preferred measurement units for entering the
airport data (green diamond indicates current selection). Enter the airport and
runway data in the required fields. If an obstacle exists select the OBST soft key
to add distance and height information (the OBST soft key toggles to ARPT/RWY
to allow return to the Add Airport page). After all of the airport and runway data
has been entered select COMPLETE to add the temporary information. The
COMPLETE soft key becomes available only after all of the required fields have
data. After selecting COMPLETE the Takeoff or Landing page is displayed with
the added airport selected for use.
Delete the temporary airport from the Takeoff or Landing page by selecting the
ADD ARPT soft key. On the Add Airport page select REMOVE (this soft key is
active only after an airport was added) to delete the temporary airport information
being displayed and return to the Takeoff or Landing page.
Entering NOTAM Information
The OPT application allows the entry of NOTAM corrections that alter available
runway or obstacle data (for example runway construction or temporary
obstacles).
Note: The administrator can set the OPT to remove the added NOTAM when
either the FLIGHT INITIALIZE or FLIGHT CLOSE soft key is selected.
The OPT deletes the temporary NOTAM should the EFB be completely
powered down. The administrator can enter NOTAM data that uses
effective dates to activate certain NOTAM changes.
