:airplane: AIRAC 2403 Revision 5 (2024-04-05):

  • wrong waypoint type fixed (ie. KEWR EWR5 departure)

:warning: Known issues:

  • terminal procedures will not be shown/are not selectable due possible outdated runway-idents in the scenery (stock or 3rd party) - sim issue
  • sometimes STAR and approaches messed up the flight path (truncate the path, remove waypoints, …) - sim issue
  • not possible to select an approach-transition in the worldmap - sim limitation

:white_check_mark: Requirements:

  • MSFS version 1.36.2.0 (no sim beta support)
  • Navigraph Hub v1.2.8 and above

:question: How to install this update:

  1. Quit the simulator, if running
  2. check, if you have the latest NavigraphHub client installed (at least v1.2.8)
  3. Open the navdata update tool (Start menu > Navigraph, or launch app with Navigraph logo in tray)
  4. If you have an earlier dataset installed, press Remove
  5. Press Install
