I just loaded the latest cycle (511) onto my datacard. Since I had it at
home, I copied it into the simulator and 126.4 is not there, either.


Glad to know I'm not crazy.

On another topic, have you noticed that you cannot select VTF until within
30 miles of the destination. I drove myself crazy yesterday going EPM-BGR.
I dialed in the BGR ILS 33 Vectors procedure; but the box never sequenced
away from my PPOS--KBGR flight path.


I just perused the user manual and couldn't find anything about it, but I
do recall reading that once (and noticing it in practice). I have this
vague recollection that it's actually mandated behavior.

I don't recall if you're an instructor


Sometimes my students forget too :-)

Took a call to GarminAT and about an hour of playing with the simulator
before I realized what I had done wrong on the flight.


I have found that most of what I know about the CNX-80 is as a direct
result of some screw-up I made in the air and eventually puzzled out on the
ground later.
