Working with Runways and Gates

TFM Commands for working in the airport gate and runway dialogues

Below is a list of commands for use in the runways and gates dialogues, in the navigation data menu.

Table Sorting Commands

While in the runways, gates, and TCAS windows, the following commands will allow the user to sort the table by specified columns and rows. The TFM key, by default right bracket, does not need to be pressed to invoke the specified action.

Command	Description
A	sort the focused column in ascending order
D	sort the focused column in descending order
L	move the focused column left
R	move the focused column right

Note: After applying a sort to a column, that sort will remain for all subsequent table lists, including airport changes.

Runway commands

While in the runways window of TFM, the following commands can be used. Note That the TFM Control Key does not need to be used in order to invoke the specified action. Note: Also see Table sorting commands for additional commands that can be used in this window.

Command	Description
Ctrl+D	When focus is on the destination (landing) runway, this command can be used to set the destination so TFM can give propper glideslope and localizer information regarding the runway.
F6	Using this command anywhere in the runways window will move one’s focus to the list of available runways. If no runways are available, TFM will alert the user and announces no runways to display.
