DATA ENTRY
The FMS Joystick can be used for directly entering alphanumeric data into the
G300. In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the G300 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 G300 automatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields with
the information for the selected waypoint.
Using the FMS Joystick to enter data:
1) Press the FMS Joystick to activate the cursor.
2) Move the FMS Joystick to highlight the desired field.
3) Begin entering data.
a) To quickly enter a waypoint identifier, turn the FMS Joystick
counter-clockwise to display a list of recent waypoints (RECENT WPTS),
nearest airports (NRST APTS) or flight plan waypoints (FPL WPTS).
b) Move the FMS Joystick to highlight the desired waypoint from the
list and press the ENT Key.
