Dane Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Not sure why this would be but I was parked at TFFJ St. Barts, EFB2 shows the aircraft at TFFJ correctly, but shows the airport information as TFFG which is in fact a few miles northwest of TFFJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is therefore filtered and not displayed, but the closest airport fulfilling the A/C's requirement is displayed. You might need to unlock the PRFL Filter or use another A/C or change the profile settings of this specific A/C you have in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always used this A/C at this airport and have never seen this discrepancy before. Maybe I will revisit the A/C Profile Setting to see if it is correct - but I honestly have not changed anything since setting it up??

The only thought I have is though that both the Dornier 228-100 and the Caravan 208B are STOL aircraft and can in fact takeoff on the runway at TFFJ. But that's all OK as I now know what was causing the different airport displayed. Thanks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, both those two aircraft list a certified take-off distance (over a 50 ft obstacle) of a bit over 600 m, however the ground run is definitely below that also for both. It is of course up to you to "allow" your operation within lower limits and thus reducing the min. RWY length in the profile for each aircraft to have smaller airports displayed. Thanks God we are not strictly bound to commercial operation limits. So a bit of "personal freedom" is still allowed 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
