For decoding assistance, select TIPS ON READING NON-GRAPHIC WEATHER
from the AVIATION WEATHER menu.
ROUTE WEATHER BRIEFING (R) ---- The route briefing provides
weather reports (NWS and FAA) within a 25nm area on either side of the

reports, or request a list of available report types. An asterisk (*)
on this list indicates reports included in a "standard" briefing.
LOCAL BRIEFING (L) ---- The local briefing provides weather
reports within a 25nm radius of a specified airport, navaid, or
weather reporting location. Enter the location identifier(s), and
Jepp/Link will provide a "standard" briefing, selected reports only,
or a list of available reports.
SELECTED REPORTS BRIEFING (S) ---- You may select weather reports
for specific airports, navigational aids, or weather reporting
locations. Please separate multiple reporting stations and multiple

*. 3.2 JEPP/LINK AVIATION WEATHER MAPS
------------------------------------
Jepp/Link provides a complete range of aviation-specific weather
maps. To receive Jepp/Link aviation weather maps, you must use
the Jepp/Link Access software and have the following hardware:
DISPLAY black and white maps - Hercules, CGA, EGA, or VGA
DISPLAY color maps - EGA or VGA
512k of memory
PRINT maps (B/W ONLY) - IBM ProPrinter, IBM Graphics,
Epson MX, or a printer which

All maps are available in black and white and some are available in
color. You can display color maps on your monitor, but they cannot
be printed. Color maps must be retrieved in black and white format
to be printed. Jepp/Link maps are automatically captured to disk so
you can print and display them offline. (See Jepp/Link Access
Software User Guide for details.) Some maps may not fill the entire
display when they are downloaded. Jepp/Link Access software corrects
this automatically when a map is displayed or printed offline.
Select TIPS ON READING WEATHER MAPS from the AVIATION WEATHER menu
for help reading or interpreting maps.
NOTE: For a complete list of available maps, select SERVICE
DESCRIPTIONS at the main menu.

*. SECTION 4 - COMPUTERIZED FLIGHT PLANNING AND FLIGHT PLAN FILING
*. 4.1 JEPP/LINK FLIGHT PLANNERS
------------------------------
Jepp/Link flight planners provide course, distance, headings,
estimated time enroute, and fuel burn. Times and headings are
based on winds forecast for your proposed altitude and route of
flight.
Flight Planner 1 - Given your route of flight, Jepp/Link
computes course and distance information
only.
Flight Planner 2 - Enter your route of flight, enroute altitude,
true airspeed, and fuel flow. Jepp/Link
prints a complete flight log, including
magnetic courses and headings, distances,
time enroute, and fuel burn for each route
segment.
*. 4.2 FLIGHT PLAN FILING
-----------------------
Jepp/Link files both VFR and IFR flight plans directly with the
appropriate FAA facility (FSS or ARTCC). You will enter the
standard information requested on the FAA's flight plan forms.
When you have entered all the data, Jepp/Link displays your plan.
You may change the plan, file it, or quit without filing. When all
modifications have been made, Jepp/Link stores the flight plan and
forwards it to the controlling FSS or ARTCC at least one hour before
departure. The file time (in UTC) and the FSS/ARTCC are displayed
when you file the plan. You may amend or cancel your flight plan
with Jepp/Link up to the file time. After that, call the
displayed FSS or ARTCC directly.
To verify the FAA designator required to identify your aircraft type,
use the ENCODE feature by entering 'E' at the prompt for aircraft
type. Jepp/Link will search for the designator by manufacturer or by
model.
*. 4.3 AMEND/CANCEL FLIGHT PLANS
------------------------------
You may amend or cancel your flight plan on Jepp/Link until it is
filed with the FAA. Jepp/Link files both VFR and IFR flight plans
approximately one hour before your proposed departure time. When
you choose AMEND or CANCEL at the FLIGHT PLANNING menu, Jepp/Link
lists all flight plans with your tail number waiting to be filed.
Enter the plan number to specify the one you wish to amend or cancel.
*. 4.4 YOUR FLIGHT PLAN TEMPLATE
------------------------------
Create a flight plan template to store selected flight plan
information to be used each time you file with Jepp/Link. Choose
CREATE/EDIT FLIGHT PLAN TEMPLATE from the FLIGHT PLANNING menu.
Enter the information you wish to store and an asterisk (*) at the
prompts that are subject to change.
*.
*. SECTION 5 - ENCODE/DECODE FEATURE
*. 5.1 ENCODING/DECODING LOCATION IDENTIFIERS
-------------------------------------------
Use ENCODE and DECODE for assistance with location identifiers.
You will find these features on the AVIATION WEATHER menu, the
FLIGHT PLANNING menu, and at any prompt requiring a location
identifier.
Enter 'E' to encode. Jepp/Link will ask you for the name and state
of the airport, navaid, or weather reporting location. All matching
location identifiers will be displayed.
To decode, enter 'D'. At the prompt, enter the associated location
identifier(s). Multiple identifiers may be entered, each separated
by a comma or a space.
To save time, use a single-line entry. Type 'E/' followed by the
name and state or type 'D/' followed by the location identifier(s).
EXAMPLE: E/LOS ANGELES,CA
EXAMPLE: D/LAX,SFO
