DATA ENTRY
The
FMS
Joystick can be used for directly entering alphanumeric data into the G3X.
In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the G3X tries to predict the
desired identifier based on the characters being entered. In this case, if the desired
identifier appears, use the
ENT
Key to confirm the entry without entering the rest of
the identifier manually. This can save the pilot from having to enter all the characters
of the identifier.
Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcut
for entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of a
waypoint identifier, turning the
FMS Joystick counter-clockwise accesses a menu
with three different lists of identifiers for quick selections: recent waypoints (RECENT
WPTS), nearest airports (NRST APTS), and flight plan waypoints (FPL WPTS). The G3X
automatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information for the
selected waypoint.
