Operations
DB (Database) Mode
Database mode is used to access, modify, create, and delete waypoints
and waypoint information. Airport, VOR, NDB, and Intersection
waypoints are stored on the data card, and accessed in DB mode. These
waypoints, and information on these waypoints, may not be changed
or deleted. User waypoints and information on User waypoints are
stored in the Navigation Management Computer (NMC), not on the
data card.
The Waypoint Retriever is used to access waypoints. Use of the
Waypoint Retriever is consistent in all six modes, and is used
whenever you need to display a waypoint.
User waypoints are created in DB mode by directly entering the
Latitude/Longitude, creating the waypoint at the location of the
waypoint, or by entering the radial and distance from another
waypoint.
