CHAPTER 2: Instructor / Operator’s Station (IOS)
Default Runway:
If you have a preferred airport/runway that you would
like to be positioned at each time ELITE is started, you
can designate a “default” airport/runway combination as
described here.
It’s fi rst necessary to select the specifi c NAV database (or
NAVset) that the desired default airport/runway is lo cat ed
in. Click and hold the small black arrow on the right side
of the panel next to “Nav area” to open a drop-down menu
of load ed databases and NAVsets. Move the fi n ger cursor
over the desired selection and release the mouse button
to select it. In the example on the previous page, we have
cho sen to use “MySet1” (see “Creating NAV Sets” on
page 216.) Click on the air port/run way you would like to
make the default, then click
DEFAULT . Notice the air port
iden ti fi er and runway se lect ed ( DEN 35R ) now ap pear in
the “Default Runway” box at the bottom-left. To actually
go to the default run way now (or at any time in the fu ture)
simply click on
TO DEFAULT . With a default air port/run way
now saved, ELITE will au to mat i cal ly position the aircraft
there on each sub
se quent startup (as sum ing the same
NAVdatabase/NAVset used to select the default air port/
runway is utilized).
NOTE: You may choose one pre ferred (de fault) run way
for each and ev ery in di vid u al NAV da ta base or NAVset.
The de fault run way al ways re mains as so ci at ed with the
NAV da
ta base or NAVset from where it was chosen.
Since “MySet1” contained the USSW, USSE, & USNW
da ta bas es, we could have chosen a default air port/runway
for each individual database, in ad di tion to the one cre at ed
for the entire NAVset.
