DATA ENTRY
Alphanumeric data can be entered using the keypad. In some instances, such as
when entering an identifier, the aera tries to predict the desired identifier based on the
characters being entered. In this case, if the desired identifier appears, use the OK Icon
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.
Predetermined data options are entered by touching the
to cycle through a
horizontal list, or by touching the button to display a vertical list (if only two options
are available, touching the button will toggle the two data options).
Besides character-by-character data entry using the keypad and predetermined
data entry, the aera also provides a shortcut for entering ‘Flight Plan’, ‘Nearest’, and
‘Recent’ waypoint identifiers.
