Map Overlays

Welcome to this week's Top of Climb where over the next editions, we'll be looking at en route settings (also known as 'map settings') which is depicted by the two cogs on the top right hand corner of the en route page.

Map settings is divided into two columns: (LEFT) Map Options/Route Options & Additional Overlays, and (RIGHT) Map Overlays.

In this edition, we're taking a look at Route Annotations.


 

Route Annotations

Tap this option to enable flags along your route line on the map, giving you important information.

VFR Standard and PRO/Premium subscribers:

TOC:

Top of climb. Based on your planned cruise altitude, the rate of climb in your aircraft profile, and the forecast winds.

TOD:

Top of descent. Based on your planned cruise altitude, the rate of descent in your aircraft profile, and the forecast winds.

PRO/Premium subscribers only

PNR:

Point of No Return. The point along your route, beyond which you won’t have enough endurance to turn around and return to your departure airport.

CP:

Critical Point. Can also be thought of as an equal time point. The point, along your route where it’s the same enroute time to continue on to your destination, as it is to return to your departure point. Takes into consideration aircraft performance and forecast winds.
 

 

Note:


Each label will have the stage number in parentheses appended to it, e.g. PNR (2) – which would refer to the Point of No Return for the second stage.

In order to see the two CPs displayed, ensure your aircraft profile has a Reduced TAS and Reduced Fuel Flow nominated.

See Creating/editing an aircraft type for information about aircraft profile management.
