APPENDIX A
MISCELLANEOUS MESSAGE ADVISORIES (CONT.)
Message
Comments
DB CHANGE
– Database changed.
Verify user modified procedures.
This occurs when a stored flight plan contains procedures that have been manually
edited. This alert is issued only after an navigation database update. Verify that the
user-modified procedures in stored flight plans are correct and up to date.
DB CHANGE
– Database changed.
Verify stored airways.
This occurs when a stored flight plan contains an airway that is no longer consistent
with the navigation database. This alert is issued only after an navigation database
update. Verify use of airways in stored flight plans and reload airways as needed.
FPL TRUNC
– Flight plan has been
truncated.
This occurs when a newly installed navigation database eliminates an obsolete
approach or arrival used by a stored flight plan. The obsolete procedure is removed
from the flight plan. Update flight plan with current arrival or approach.
LOCKED FPL
– Cannot navigate
locked flight plan.
This occurs when the pilot attempts to activate a stored flight plan that contains
locked waypoint. Remove locked waypoint from flight plan. Update flight plan with
current waypoint.
WPT ARRIVAL
– Arriving at waypoint
-[xxxx]
Arriving at waypoint [xxxx], where [xxxx] is the waypoint name.
STEEP TURN
– Steep turn ahead.
A steep turn is 15 seconds ahead. Prepare to turn.
INSIDE ARSPC
– Inside airspace.
The aircraft is inside the special use airspace.
ARSPC AHEAD
– Airspace ahead less
than 10 minutes.
Special use airspace is ahead of aircraft. The aircraft will penetrate the airspace within
10 minutes.
ARSPC NEAR
– Airspace near and
ahead.
Special use airspace is near and ahead of the aircraft position.
ARSPC NEAR
– Airspace near – less
than 2 nm.
Special use airspace is within 2 nm of the aircraft position.
APR INACTV
– Approach is not active. The system notifies the pilot that the loaded approach is not active. Activate
approach when required.
SLCT FREQ
– Select appropriate
frequency for approach.
The system notifies the pilot to load the approach frequency for the appropriate NAV
receiver. Select the correct frequency for the approach.

– Parallel track unavailable:
past IAF.
IAF waypoint for parallel offset has been passed.
UNABLE V WPT
– Can’t reach current
vertical waypoint.
The current vertical waypoint can not be reached within the maximum flight path
angle and vertical speed constraints. The system automatically transitions to the next
vertical waypoint.
VNV
– Unavailable. Unsupported leg
type in flight plan.
The lateral flight plan contains a procedure turn, vector, or other unsupported leg
type prior to the active vertical waypoint. This prevents vertical guidance to the active
vertical waypoint.
