Navigraph airac cycle 0710

[michelmvd]

After one month interuption, the new PM airac cycle on the Navigraph website is again available.
I did for test 3 flights - EBOS / EGLL etc return , EBOS EGKK and return and EBOS EDDF

- no problems to set SID and STAR
- no problems to change waypoints during flts
- no problems to change STAR during preflight.
- no problems to go direct to a certain waypoint further in the route.

Did not yet test a STAR change in flight.

Preflight dash line is blue, once activated it become white and EXEC magenta.

Looks very promising . Did test with latest builds on the PM website

Ok, what's the real story?

Reported in this thread that AIRAC 0710 does work with PM.

Reported here http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10345 that is does not.

Who really knows what, if anything, is happening with PM and Navigraph?

Tim.... If you only have the PM RJ GC with no FMC, or MCP.. Navdata won't do anything for you anyway will it?

Best regards,

Hi Trevor,

Yes, PMRJ does have a nav display that shows airport, VOR, NDB, and other fix data.

Navigraph reports that AIRAC 0710 is compatible with: Project Magenta - Airbus/Boeing/RJ-Type Glass Cockpit, GA IFR Panel.

Is it a fact that PM software still cannot use the new data? I am reading conflicting reports that it does. Does anyone know for sure?

[Trevor Hale]

Send an email to Support@projectmagenta.com and ask them. See what they say. Or download the new cycle and try it.. Only 2 ways to find out LOL

Thanks,

Trev

Well, one, there is a charge for Navigraph downloads, and two, I don't believe I would get a meaningful answer from PM.

I'll just have to wait like others to see if the PM issue get's resolved one day.

Hi Tim,
I just likedto inform the forum users what the results were of my mentioned testflights.
I haven't test anything more at this moment than what I said.
I just noted that after an interruption of 1 month, (due to a faulty converter - according Stefan) the files are back on the Navigraph download site and I tried them out.
I don't know what has been changed, I just noted that the mentioned problems were gone on this trajects for me.

Looks interesting if others are checking this.

Hello Michel,

could you pls tell the exactly way you enter the data into the FMC?
I tried today EDDM - EDDH and got a problem with the star again!
When I change the star during preflight, it clears all the waypoint after the first entry on the second page (RTE) example:

[RTE page]
EDDM - EDDH
then execute
[DEP/APP page]
26R
MIQ7N
then execute
[RTE page]
Y102.ALIBU
UL604.MASEK --> second page on RTE page
UN851.KEMAD
UL190.NOLGO
then execute
[DEP/APP page]
23
NOLGO1A
then execute

when I now change the RWY/STAR it will clears all the waypoints after MASEK

Can someone confirm this, pls? Otherwise I enter maybee the data on a wrong way?

Thanks
Jan
