June 22, 20178 yr I just installed 2.2.1.6 and manually updated AIRAC to 1706r4. I'm trying to plan a flight from 4U9 and got an error that I had to set the departure airport as the first waypoint of the flight plan. I tried making 4U9 the destination (from KDLN) and was told that it was unable to locate waypoint 4U9 in the database. I've tried some other three-character airports (6S1, 7S1) and have the same problem. A nearby tiny airport with a four-character code (MT05) works fine. However, I can pull up Taxi Maintenance and browse to 4U9 without any difficulty.
June 22, 20178 yr Author Disregard, looks like Navigraph has a K in front of my three letters, so K4U9 works. I'll try some others but I assume that's what the problem was.

June 22, 20178 yr When exporting a flight plan to X Plane, if the destination US airport is a 3 Ltr code, I have been having to edit the .fms file to remove the leading "K". The X Plane GPS will not recognize it with the leading "K" added to the identifier. Bruce
June 23, 20178 yr Commercial Member Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to fix this since it is in the data. I'll add it to the list of things to try and fix in the future. Thanks, Dave
