Select the required airport from the list to display the View Chart List page

of charts to display it on the View Chart page. To view another chart from the list
for this airport, select the PGUP or PGDN bezel key. Alternately, select SHOW
MENU and then VIEW LIST to select another chart form the original list.
Select CHART CLIP from the View Chart List page when finished viewing the
charts for the airport.
Selecting the SET AS ALTERNATE soft key adds the airport as an alternate if
space is available in the four alternate positions.
Locating the Nearest Airports from Current Location
The ETC application can search for the closest airports that meet predefined,
specific criteria (runway length, jet fuel, etc.) set by the administrator. These
criteria can be disabled to view all of the closest airports.
When searching for the nearest airports, the ETC application uses the current
Global Positioning System (GPS) position to provide a list of the ten nearest
airports that meet the search criteria (if enabled). Direction and distance from the
current position are also provided. If less than ten airports meet all the criteria,
only those airports are listed.
Note: Only airports for which charts are available in the company subscription
database display in the Nearest Airports list.
To search for the nearest airports from the Chart Clip page, select AIRPORT
SEARCH and then NEAREST AIRPORTS. The Nearest Airports page displays
up to ten airports that meet the specific criteria. Only five airports display at a
time. If necessary, select the PGDN bezel key to view the additional airports.
Note: The airports are sorted by distance from the aircraft. The closest airport is
listed first. The Nearest Airports list does not automatically update as the
flight progresses. Perform a new search to update the list.
To override the airport search criteria, select DISABLE CRITERIA. The Nearest
Airports page displays up to ten airports in the subscription database, regardless
of size and services available, that are closest to the current airplane location.
The Nearest Airports page can also be accessed by selecting CHART UTILITIES
and then NEAREST AIRPORTS. The search is conducted in the same fashion.
Printing a Chart
The ETC application supports chart printing when a configured graphical printer
is installed and operating.
Individual charts being viewed can be printed from the Chart Display or Preview
Chart pages by selecting SHOW MENU and then PRINT.
