5.5.5.1 Select an Airport

There are two methods of selecting: filter mode and list mode. You can toggle between
these two modes by pressing the LIST or FILTER buttons. Selecting an airport in filter
mode is straightforward. Enter the first letter of the airport name using the lower-right
knob. The helper will show the first airport matching this letter and the next few airports will
be displayed in lower part of screen.
Press the CHAR>> button and cursor will move to the second letter. Use the lower-right
knob to select the second letter. If you wish to return to the first letter turn the lower-left
knob anticlockwise.
You will note that part of the airport name is written in a darker colour. Once it becomes
white it means this is the only selection. Pressing GOTO will navigate directly to it. If there
are more than one airports starting with the filtered letters and you press the GOTO button
the cursor will jump to the beginning of the airport name. The lower-right knob will select
among the airports. Press GOTO once more and you will navigate to it.
"Event marked"
will be displayed on the screen.
