airports displayed on ND

Recommended Posts

searched the forum but found no entry on this. when showing airports on the ND it displays all the airports. i would assume there is a way to filter the displayed airports by runway length. i did not find any setting for that on the mcdu. did i just not find it or is it somewhere else? thanks!

In the FCOM2 it simply states that it displays all airports stored in the FMC database. No word of filtering at all, so I suppose it isn't possible.

This is usually a company thing I think, the PMDG MD-11 had the option though to make a minimum runway length filter.

Yes, the MD11 has that option. But I haven´t found it for the NGX so far ....

Guys, if you look carefully, it shows only runways that are long enough for the 737. For example, i am now flying Klagenfurt (LOWK) - Stansted (EGSS). As I am above the Austrian Alps, I turned on ARPT on my ND. It does show LOWS (Salzburg) , LOWI (Innsbruck) but no LOWZ (Zell Am See) or no LOIJ (St. Johann) because they have runways that are too short or too soft for the 737 ;) No need to filter because it does it already :)
