u. FMS1 Data Loader Operation.
(1) Data Loader Operation Overview. The
FMS-800 data loader provides an interface to data
cartridges for data storage and retrieval capability.
The data loader and cartridge allows the crew to
perform the following functions:
1. Load preplanned flight plans and
preset information, as well as other
flight data.
2. Save selected flight data, including
system status information.
3. Access the ICAO identifier database.
4. Load a 200 waypoint user waypoint
database.
The current magnetic variation tables can be
loaded on the data cartridge and automatically
transferred to the CDU nonvolatile memory upon
installation of the cartridge into the data loader. If this
file already exist in CDU memory, the FMS-800 will
compare the new file to the existing file and determine
which one is the most current. If the new file is the
most current the FMS-800 will overwrite the old files.
Access to data cartridge files is performed from
the data loader pages or the start 3 page. Points from
the ICAO identifier database can be requested from
any page where waypoint entry is permitted. Refer to
Figure 3B-131 and Table 3B-95 for a description of
how to access and use the Data Loader pages.
(2) Loading Flight Data. The following data
can be loaded from the data cartridge, if available.
1. Any one of 40 alternate flight plans
with a maximum of 60 waypoints
each.
2. Markpoint and User Waypoint lists.
3. GPS almanac data.
4. Fifty-two V/UHF Communication radio
presets, HAVE QUICK II MWOD, and
FMT lists.
5. Navigation
