Hi all. What does it mean when there's an alternate intersection name in
brackets in the new AOPA Flight Planner? As an example, there's an
intersection just south of the Wash D.C. Class B where V286 and V16 cross.
It's called TAPPA but the new AOPA flight planner also has [VIPKE] in
brackets. It also chose to highlight VIPKE on the enroute map as opposed to
TAPPA. The Jepp enroute chart simply has this as TAPPA with no alternate
names. I also can't seem to find this symbology anywhere else on the Jepp
chart.

Is VIPKE a high-altitude/jet route name for the same intersection? Anyone
know? Clicking on the intersection yields no clues.

Here's what http://www.airnav.com says about it:

Name: VIPKE

Fix to be published? yes
