The flight management system (FMS)
uses four--character International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) or
ICAO--format airport identifiers. When
a U.S. airport has a three--letter
identifier in the Jeppesen charts and is
normally prefixed with a K in the
database. Alaskan and Hawaiian
airports with a three--letter identifier
are normally prefixed with a P.
Canadian airports with three--letter
identifiers are normally prefixed with
a C. Airports with numbers in the
identifier (such as P07) are also
included in the navigation database.
Any other entry on an airport line is
assumed to be a navaid, an
intersection or a pilot--defined
waypoint. Runway data, including
standard instrument departure (SIDs),
standard terminal arrival route
(STARs) and approaches are available
only with an airport from the Jeppesen
database.
