Chart Information

®
FliteCharts
FliteCharts resemble the paper version of FAA published terminal procedures
charts. The charts are displayed with high-resolution and in color for applicable
charts. The database contains procedure charts for the United States only. This
database is updated on a 28-day cycle. FliteCharts is disabled 180 days after the
expiration date and is no longer available for viewing upon reaching the disable
date.
®
SafeTaxi (Optional)
SafeTaxi is an enhanced feature that gives greater map detail when zooming
in on airports at close range. The airport display on the map reveals runways
with numbers, taxiways with identifying letters/numbers, and airport landmarks
including ramps, buildings, control towers, and other prominent features.
Resolution is greater at lower map ranges. When the aircraft location is within the
screen boundary, including within SafeTaxi ranges, an airplane symbol is shown
on the navigation map views for enhanced positional awareness. This database
is updated on a 56-day cycle.
ChartView™ (Optional with Enablement Card)
ChartView resembles the paper version of Jeppesen terminal procedures charts.
The charts are displayed in full color with high resolution. The MFD depiction
shows the aircraft position on the moving map in the plan view of approach
charts and on airport diagrams.
The ChartView database is updated on a 14-day cycle. ChartView is disabled
70 days after the expiration date and is no longer available for viewing upon
reaching the disable date.
NOTE: Do not use SafeTaxi or ChartView functions as a basis for
ground maneuvering. SafeTaxi and ChartView functions have not
been qualifi ed to be used as an Airport Moving Map Display (AMMD).
SafeTaxi and ChartView are intended to improve pilot situational
awareness during ground operations and should only be used by the
fl ight crew to orient themselves on the airport surface.
