Due to the way the GNS-X
LS
database is structured, waypoints must
have unique identifiers. However, some duplicate identifiers exist for
more than one waypoint location. These waypoints are primarily
located on APPROACHES, SIDS and STARS. In these cases the
waypoint identifiers are renamed in the database as a 6 character
identifier. Two naming conventions are used, one for four character
identifiers and one for five character identifiers.
Four character waypoints have the first four characters but add the
last two characters of the ICAO airport identifier as shown in the fol-
lowing example:
MA11 at KPRC becomes MA11RC in the database.
Five character waypoints have the first five characters but add the
last character of the ICAO airport identifier as shown in the following
example:
MA27L at KOAK becomes MA27LK in the database.
