CAP Grid References

FlyQ EFB accepts grid references in Gridded Sectional, Cell, or GARS format regardless of which grid system is displayed. Unless a corner suffix is added ( NW , NE , SE , or SW ), the lat/lon of the center of the grid cell will be used.

Examples:

SEA140 . The center of the SEA 140 grid cell. SEA140A . The center of the SEA 140A grid cell (which is the upper left quadrant of the SEA 140 cell) SEA140ANE . The top-right corner of the SEA 140A grid cell. 47122DAB . The center of the 47122DAB grid cell -- roughly the center of the SeaTac (SEA) airport in the Cell grid system. 47122DABSW . The southwest corner of the grid cell above. This is identical to the position specified as 47122DA as 47122DA means the center of the 47122DA grid. 115KO13. The center of the 115KO13 grid cell – roughly the center of the SeaTac (SEA) airport in the GARS grid system. 115KO1NE. The northeast corner of the 115KO1 grid cell – near the RNT airport.

Entering Waypoints to Create a Flight Plan

You can create a flight plan using the Search box at the top of the app that includes points in any of these formats. For example:

PAE SEA/87/35 SFO PAE W121.25N47xN47.5 SFO PAE SEA104/TCN74 SFO

Note : If you want to use a point in this format multiple times, it might be easier to create a Personal Waypoint and use the ident of the Personal Waypoint in the plan instead. See the Personal Waypoints section for more information.
