IFD 550 issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I recently developed a problem with my 550. When I enter a destination airport KFOK (Gabreski airport), the unit will not accept the entry and defaults it to KFIT, Fitchburg airport . I spoke to Jeppesen to see if there was a problem with the database. They indicated no issues on their end. I tried about ten times , then it worked and accepted the KFOK entry. All navigation and approaches worked. Has anyone else had this issue? It seems the problem of switching airports occurs when I get to the “ O” in KFOK. Any thoughts? Return the unit to avidyne?
