Why the plus in front of the approach? That puts it in the secondary scratchpad. What's wrong with using the primary scratchpad?
This is probably very location-dependent but we have several options:
- Primary scratchpad: left side of datablock, shares with Mode C altitude.
MF, Y, then 1/2/3 alphanumerics, slew-enter.- Implied command: 2/3 alphanumerics, slew-enter.
- To clear:
MF, Y, slew-enter. Implied command: type the exact scratchpad contents, slew-enter.
- Secondary scratchpad: left side of datablock, shares with Mode C and primary scratchpad. When displayed, shows a
+ between the left scratchpad area and the right type/speed readout.
MF, Y, +, then 1/2/3 alphanumerics.- Implied command:
+ then 2/3 alphanumerics, slew-enter.
- To clear:
MF, Y, +, slew-enter. Implied command: + then the exact contents, slew-enter.
- Pilot-reported altitude: left side of datablock, replaces missing Mode C. When displayed, shows a
* between the left scratchpad area and the right type/speed readout.
- Three numbers, slew-enter.
- To clear:
000, slew-enter.
- Assigned altitude: third line of datablock (prefixed with
A).
+ then three numbers, slew-enter.- To clear:
+000, slew-enter.
- Requested altitude: right side of datablock (prefixed with
R), shares with a/c type and speed readout.
++ then three numbers, slew-enter.- To clear:
++000, slew-enter.
