ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Selecting the
INFO-1
or
INFO-2
Softkey returns to the airport diagram when the view is on a different chart.
If the displayed chart is the airport diagram, the
INFO-1
or
INFO-2
Softkey has no effect.
The aircraft position is shown in magenta on the ChartView diagrams when the location of the aircraft is
within the chart boundaries. In the example shown, the aircraft is taxiing on Taxiway Alpha on the Charlotte,
NC (KCLT) airport.
Another source for additional airport information is from the INFO Box above the chart for certain airports.
This information source is not related to the
INFO-1
or
INFO-2
Softkey. When the INFO Box is selected using
the
FMS
Knob, the G1000 softkeys are blank. The Charlotte, NC airport has five additional charts offering
information; the Airport Diagram, Take-off Minimums, Class B Airspace, Airline Parking Gate Coordinates,
and Airline Parking Gate Location. The numbers in parentheses after the chart name are Jeppesen designators.
When a European airport is displayed on the WPT- Airport Information Page, the INFO Box will also list
appropriate VFR charts, provided the Bottlang Chart subscription has been added to the ChartView database.
