AspEdit manual      Navaid dialog box

Purpose

Add / insert / edit a single navaid.
To enter multiple navaids at once, use the block function.

Access

  • Via the Add fix dialog box, to create a new navaid,
  • By double clicking on an existing navaid in the List.

Functioning

  • Enter the name of the navaid in the name field.  Navaid names must be 2 or 3 characters long. For navaids having only two characters, AspEdit will automatically append an underscore character.

  • Either use the latitude and longitude fields to enter the values separately, or use the Lat / Lon field to enter both at once.
    • Tip: use the copy / paste function: copy the coordinates from the aeronautical publication, and paste them in the Lat / Lon field.
    • See coordinate conventions for rules concerning coordinate formatting.
    • Always double check the result in the field below the Lat / Lon field.  eg. If the Lat / Lon field can't handle a separator, it may be required to paste latitude and longitude separately in the respective fields.
