Runway Extensions
This unit can draw a line on the screen that extends
the runway which makes it easier to line up on the
runway during final approach. To use the extension,
you must first navigate to an airport. (See the Navigation
section for more details.) In this example, (shown at
right) we're navigating to Mangham Regional airport in
Nacogdoches, Texas. Next, select "Runways/
Extensions" from the "AIRMAP OPTIONS" menu shown
on the previous page. The screen shown below
appears.
Now select "RUNWAY EXTENSION" on this menu. The
screen below left appears.
Use the left or right arrow keys to select the desired
runway. In this example, we're using runway 36. When
the extension appears on the desired runway, press
the EXIT key to return to the map.
A line on the screen extends from the airport in line with the selected
runway.
To turn the extension off, repeat the above steps, but select "NONE" on
the above menu.
