NEAR AIRPORT
Nearest airports, VORs, NDBs and waypoints (conditionally) will be shown in that page.
Important!
The waypoints with extension INCL.EMR will be displayed on the near airport page too. The waypoints have
different symbols to separate visualy airports from waypoints.
3.2.3
APT airfields
It is one of the three main navigation modes. The first page shows the elementary navigation data like bearing,
distance, ground track and ground speed. The
CDI indicator is similar to that one used by VOR
, but not
completely (see following paragraphs). Additionally information is brought to the next four pages, available after
rotating of up/down selector.
The capacity of LX 500 memory is more than
5000 airfields
. It is not possible to edit the airfield data by the
instrument. The LX 500 is using
Jeppesen database, and that database is not free
. To update the database it is
possible exclusively using your PC. The data transfer will be successful having a
code based on serial number and
data
base version
. The codes are available
exclusively by Filser Electronic
. The actual database can be
downloaded any time from
www.filser.de or www.lxnavigation.si.
