This is one of the three main navigation modes (APT, TP, TSK). To change the mode simply rotate themode selector.
The first page shows the basic navigation data (bearing, distance, ground track and ground speed). Additional
information will follow in four more nav.-pages activated using the UP/DOWN selector. The airport memory of LX
5000 has a capacity for Approx. 5000 airports. The airport data can’t be edited in the instrument; all necessary updates
should be done using a PC. The database used in LX5000 is free since 01/01/2005, but still protected against copying.
The database can be downloaded from the Internet using the following addresses:
