System Overview Flight Instruments EIS CNS Interface System Overview DATA ENTRY The FMS Joystick can be used for directly entering alphanumeric data into the G3X. In some instances, such as when entering an identifier, the G3X tries to predict the desired identifier based on the characters being entered. In this case, if the desired identifier appears, use the ENT Key to confirm the entry without entering the rest of the identifier manually. This can save the pilot from having to enter all the characters of the identifier. Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcut for entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of a waypoint identifier, turning the FMS Joystick counter-clockwise accesses a menu with three different lists of identifiers for quick selections: recent waypoints (RECENT WPTS), nearest airports (NRST APTS), and flight plan waypoints (FPL WPTS). The G3X automatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information for the selected waypoint. Using the FMS Joystick to enter data: 1) Press the FMS Joystick to activate the cursor. 2) Move the FMS Joystick to highlight the desired field. 3) Begin entering data. a) To quickly enter a waypoint identifier, turn the FMS Joystick counterclockwise to display a list of recent waypoints (RECENT WPTS), nearest airports (NRST APTS) or flight plan waypoints (FPL WPTS). b) Move the FMS Joystick to highlight the desired waypoint from the list and press the ENT Key.
