Hard
Altitudes
A
Hard Alititude is a specific altitude assigned by the user to
an associated waypoint. Users can set these altitudes in response
to the need to be at a specific altitude at a predetermined
point. For example, they are usually used in procedure descents
or ascents or when ATC provides instructions to cross waypoint
at a certain altitude.
Terrain
Detailed terrain data for your coverage area provides 30 arc-second
information. This degree of precision is available for the entire
world.
Highlighted Route Segment
By clicking on a segment of the route users can manually adjust
the altitude in order to optimize for time, fuel consumption
or costs. In addition, information about the MEA or details
on the power setting or winds aloft can be obtained.
Adjustable Route Profile
The profile shows the aircraft position in relation to terrain
and other elements like airspace and Minimum Enroute Altitudes
for the IFR and Corporate Versions. The altitude for the route
can easily be adjusted by highlighting the route segment.
Airspace Depictions
Military operations areas, Class B, Class C and other types
of airspace are depicted in the profile view to help you pick
altitudes and routes of flight. You can easily get specific
information about times of operation and altitudes by clicking
on each aispace depiction.
MEA's
MEA's or Minimum Enroute Altitudes are depicted in the Profile
View with a heavy yellow line for routes planned as IFR and
Airway in the IFR and Corporate versions.
