Page 1-4 of the pilots guide states that a white second line indicates a list of choices - a very neat feature.

When on the select chart screen of the chart page, Paste has an airport in white as the second line and allows you toggle between the departure and destination, that makes sense.

On the info tab, there is a similar paste lsk that toggles an airport, but the second line is not white.  It seems like this should be white since it has the same behavior as the select airport lsk.

You are correct.  I had noticed this a few months ago and we have an entry in our candidate feature list but it hasn't bubbled up high enough on the priority list yet.

Would you explain where the LSK key is on the info tab?  When I am on the info tab of the FMS button, the only key on the left that I see active is "search,"  which brings up a search field to enter a city.

Yes, you should see the Paste LSK pop up in addition to the Search LSK when you have an active flight plan in the FMS.

Without an active flight plan, all you'll see is the Search LSK.

Thank you.  When I read the post, I tried it on the sim and did not see that button but I guess its because you can't activate a flight plan on the sim.  I'll try it on my flight tomorrow.

So I did try it on my flight today and at times the Paste LSK is visable and other times it is not but in either case, the button is active and by pressing the button, it does toggle between the two selections.  I was pleasantly surprised in playing with this feature to see that any airport you touch in the "nearest tab" or any waypoint you touch in the FPL page will become the stayby spot that gets toggled to from the info page. ie...if I hit the nearest airport button and touch an airport on the list, I can then go to the info tab and pull up all the info on that nearest airport by hitting the Paste LSK button.  Pretty cool.

Great tip! Finding out all kinds of cool things as we use these clever units.
