Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs)
NDBs stored in the internal
database are listed in
Jeppesen publications with a
2 or 3 letter identifier. To dis-
tinguish these NDBs from
VHF NAVAIDS, you must
add an "NB" suffix to the
database identifier. Example:
To access the Prince Rupert
(PR) NDB, you must enter
PRNB. (Figure 2-79)
Airports
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) identifiers are used to
access data in the database.
ICAO identifiers differ in some cases from those familiar to many
pilots.
The following are guidelines to access information from the database:
Except for a few hundred 3 or 4 letter/number airport identifiers in
Alaska, Canada and the Continental USA, all airport identifiers stored
in the database have 4 letters.
In most cases, these identi-
fiers begin with a letter that
corresponds to the geo-
graphic area in which the air-
port is located. The ICAO
code
letter
prefix
Continental USA airports is
"K". Hawaii and Alaska
identifiers begin with "P".
To access a 4 character
identifier, use the IDENTIFI-
ER found in the Jeppesen
charts. For example, enter
KSNA for Santa Ana. (Figure 2-80)
