Displaying Chart Object Properties

Chart objects are features that display on the Enroute Chart view window. To view a list of chart objects, see Chart Objects.

To view the properties of a chart object:

1. Click a chart object directly on the enroute chart. The selected object turns magenta.

2. Double-click the selected object, or right-click and choose Properties.

Clicking on the chart where two or more items are collocated displays the Select an Item dialog box. To view the properties from this dialog box, select the desired object, and then click Info. Clicking OK displays the chart view with that object selected.

Some chart objects have no additional data to display (for example: enroute and marker beacons, fix formations, grid MORAs, holding patterns, localizers, and VFR-reporting points). Selecting these features does not display a Properties dialog, and they cannot be added to routes. An exception is VFR-reporting points, which can be added to a route by using the drag-and-drop technique.

Navigational Aid Information

Airports, navaids, and airways display different properties windows. Click each tab in the Properties dialog to view all of the available information. Each dialog includes at least a description, available location, and elevation information.

The following airport information window shows all of the available tabs. All of the information can be printed with a Trip Kit. The Weather tab displays only for those airports having METARS in a downloaded DUATS briefing.

Airport information windows can contain all of the following:

• General airport information

• Runway information

• Communications

• Weather — Displays for those airports with METARS after downloading a standard weather briefing with CSC DUATS or DTC DUAT. If you are using Jeppesen Weather, METAR downloads are available with the Route Weather and Area Weather briefing.

• Click the AOPA link to go directly to AOPA's airport resources. To access the information, you need an AOPA username and password.
