Chart View (CHART) Function (Optional)

The optional MX20 Chart View feature provides the

capability to view Jeppesen Sanderson Inc. electronic

charts. Two basic types of charts can be viewed: Approach

charts and airport surface charts.

Approach charts can be manually loaded and overlaid on

the moving map during flight, while airport surface charts

are automatically overlaid while on the ground. Both

types of charts are also viewable from the Chart View

Function in a chart manual fashion. Approach charts may

also be loaded automatically when installed with a

CNX-series GPS receiver.

The electronic chart data is generated from the standard

Jeppesen CD ROM product, which is distributed and

updated by Jeppesen on a two-week schedule. The

in-flight data resides on the pilot removable front-loading

data card and is updated by the pilot using a home

PC-based data loader.

The MX20 Chart View feature does not currently

represent a sole replacement for the paper chart within the

cockpit. The presentation of the chart data is intended for

supplemental use and to provide additional situational

awareness. The pilot must still have access to the printed

chart as required by FAA regulations.

Overview

Charts are viewed either as a dynamic overlay on the

Custom/IFR Map, or as a static page through the

dedicated Chart View Function (‘Chart’ on the

function menu).

When viewed as a dynamic overlay on the

Custom/IFR Map, the chart will be properly

geo-referenced with respect to the base map.

Orientation (track up, north up, etc..), zoom scale,

and aircraft position will all be properly presented
