Electronic Terminal Charts (Typical)
Overview
The Electronic Terminal Charts (ETC) application provides the ability to find and
display any Jeppesen terminal chart in the operator’s EFB terminal chart database
subscription. The main features of the application are a decrease in paper
management tasks on the flight deck and the ability to quickly find, sort, and page
through terminal charts. When the EFB is initialized the ETC creates an origin and
destination chart clip that pre-loads the charts anticipated for use during the flight.
These chart clips can be transferred from one EFB to another as required.
The standard chart library may include the following chart types:
• Airport
• Departure
•Arrival
• Approach
• Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs)
Starting the Application
To start the ETC application, select TERMINAL CHARTS from the EFB Main
Menu page. The Route Setup page displays when the application is first started. If
the ETC application was previously started, the last page in view is re-displayed.
Note: If the ETC application has not finished loading, selecting the TERMINAL
CHARTS soft key causes the “Loading Charts Database” page to briefly
display.
CAUTION: Expired data has a six-day grace period before the ETC
application requires updating. The message; “Database Issue
Date: [Day] [Month] [Year] Terminal Charts may contain
outdated information. Obtain a new database as soon as
possible.” appears to inform the user of this condition.
Selecting OK acknowledges this message and allows continued
use of the ETC application.
Defining Airports for Use
The origin and destination airports, as well as four alternate airports, can be
entered on the Route Setup page for use with the ETC application. The origin and
destination airports can be entered by copying them from the FMC, either
automatically when the flight is initialized, or by selecting the USE ARPTS
FROM FMC soft key. Any airport can be entered by typing an airport identifier or
an airport or city name directly in the airport field and then selecting SEARCH
IDENT or SEARCH ALL as appropriate.
