One of the airport locals dropped this one on me today, I have not had any time to look into it myself so I was wondering if anyone else had seen it.
On the Jeppson Enroute chart for California the costal one there is an intersection called jenni between the ENI and FOT vor. I forget which victor airway now. It represents close to a 50 degree heading change which is pretty major. The jenni intersection was symbolized by an (X) not a triangle. It was refered to as a "Data Point" on the "info" part of the chart NOT as an intersection.
The local said he couldn't enter it into the G430 flightplan. The G430 had a current database. He had to use VOR nav to get to the Jenni "Data Point" and follow the victor airway to the ENI VOR.
Anyone here know why you cant enter these "Data Points" into the flight plan? The GPS doesn't recognize them, but we were using a current database. I thought of making it a user waypoint but you can't: it does not give you any GPS lat/long.
Any thoughts?
