COOL FEATURE
Geofill™
is a geographic prediction algorithm that
significantly reduces the number of pilot actions for
entering waypoints. Usually after the first character
entry, the system uses existing characters to
determine the most likely waypoint based on your
geographic position or existing flight plan.
If a flight plan has more legs than can be displayed on a single
page, a scroll bar is presented along the right edge of the flight
plan. It indicates where the viewable window is with respect to the
entire flight plan as well as where the active leg in the flight plan
is. In the image above, the magenta vertical rectangle in the scroll
bar indicates the active leg is just below the top of the screen.
There are a number of flight plan legs out of sight below the
bottom of the display.
PREVIEWING FLIGHT PLANS
Using the split view, flight plan modifications can be previewed as
they are being modified on the FMS page. As a flight plan is
being built on the right side of the page, the map will
automatically resize attempting to show the entire modification
being made. Those changes are shown on the map using a cyan
color. There may be a short delay in drawing the legs as the
system determines the optimum map range for display. This
feature provides a graphical preview of the edited route before it
is officially part of the flight plan to aid in situational awareness.
The preview feature is available whether modifications are being
made on the ground or airborne. While a preview is being
displayed, a temporary annunciation will be shown on the map
describing the modification in progress. Examples of those
annunciations are "FMS Preview -
Waypoint”, “FMS Preview -
Airway”, or “FMS Preview – Approach.
