WPT Pages
WPT Page Group

Finding the Desired Airport
Finding the Desired Airport
Your 500W-series unit uses ICAO identifiers for all 
airports. All U.S. airport identifiers which contain only 
letters use the prefix “K”. For example, Los Angeles 
International is KLAX under the ICAO standard. Other 
airports, such as Otten Memorial (3VS), that contain 
numbers in the identifier, do not require the “K” 
prefix. Alaska, Hawaii and many foreign countries use 
two letter prefixes.  
If you encounter difficulty when selecting an...

through the database, displaying those waypoints 
matching the characters you have entered to that point.

Airport Approach  Options
 NOTE:  Not all approaches in the database are ap-
proved for GPS use. As you select an approach, a “GPS” designation to the right of the procedure name 
indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS re
-
ceiver. Some procedures do not have this designation,  meaning the GPS receiver may be used for supple
-
mental navigation guidance only. ILS approaches, for example, must be flown by tuning the VLOC receiver to the proper frequency and coupling the VLOC receiver to...
