Default Loading SUA File In ClearNav

Well, I tried using a .txt suffix and the file was not found by the
simulator.Â* I changed the suffix back to .sua and was able to load and
view the TFRs on the simulator.

I'll try again at the glider today, but yesterday I did not get any
prompt to update files when I powered up with the stick already plugged in.

Are you out there, Evan?

Jim,

I'm pretty sure I've done everything exactly as you described except
for using the .txt suffix instead of .sua.Â* I'll give that a try.

Thanks,
Dan

I hope someone can help.Â* I'm in Montrose, CO on a gliding safari and
there are several fire TFRs in the area.Â* I have created a TFR file but
can't figure out how to load it into my ClearNav II flight computer.
I've also looked through the ClearNav website and can't find the
information there.

I have created a directory structure on a USB stick which matches the
structure used by the CN Simulator.Â* The SUA file works on the
simulator
but not in the aircraft.Â* I installed the stick before turning on the
CNII but when stepping through the menus to load an SUA file, I don't
find the file listed.Â* What am I missing?

Dan:
The airspace file (I prefer TXT to SUA) goes on the USB stick in the
Map Data / SUAs folder.
Put the USB stick in and power up. At the prompt, update airspace. It
prompts to remove USB and restart. Then go to the menu icon on the
ribbon, tab with "no glider" icon, load.
