Hi Bob
Your code at reply #15 is interesting , I need to look at it more .
I had a similar need , whereby I click on various facilities showing on my radar and derive data on the specific chosen facility ,
I wanted both the data and the ability to enter that facility into a flight plan .
The method that I used is as follows , with the exception that PLANE Lat/Long reads CLICK Lat/Long in my instrument .
This one gives both VOR ident and freq . and I can set the Freq to the standby side of the radio .
Cheers
Karol
PS ;
Both shots taken at YAMB Amberley Australia , Radar projected to
KDEN Denver USA .
The Right hand MFD has multiple Facility Buttons ,
LL , APT , VOR , NDB , INT .
When APT , VOR , NDB , INT are selected a short range (10 - 15 nm) Nearest search is conducted for that type of facility , data is then shown and it is available for entry (ENT) into a Flt Pln or DTO .
Any of the latter 4 facility types will be entered into a Pln with their specific Ident name .
Shot #1
VOR Facility selected .
Shot #2
Here APT (Airport) Facility button is selected .
As can be seen with the large amount of airport data available and in this instance multiple ILS it has necessitated spill over data overlays .
ILS data on overlay below radar .
You can click on any airport symbol currently showing on the touch sensitive radar display screen , the clicked airport data shows up immediately , you can do that as often as you wish , that browsing capability gives you the airport names etc of any of them .
The upper radar display composite was put there as the radar has been returned to Local and shows the Distance-Bearing from YAMB to KDEN .
