Features
Below is a brief explanation of the features available with the Apollo
NMS.
Direct-To Flights: The NMS can provide course guidance from your
location directly to any waypoint in any database.
Data cards: Data cards contain listings of public use Airports, VORs,
NDBs, INTs (intersections), airspaces, non-precision approaches,
MSA, MESA, and magnetic variation information in the datacard
coverage area. The combined coverage area for all of the data cards is
world-wide.
Waypoint Information: Each database contains supplementary
information about every waypoint. For example, ATC frequencies and
available runways may be displayed for airports. Approaches are also
stored on the data cards. In addition, bearing and distance from the
present position to any waypoint is also available.
