MV KA350i v1.2 Navigraph Chart Index issue
Hi Steve -
Have been enjoying v1.2 of the MV B350i.
Discovered a limitation with the MFD Chart Index Page - something for the bug list:
Current version of Navigraph Charts (7.2.5) codes smaller US airports using three characters, e.g. 6S8, whereas their FMS DATA codes the same airport with four: "K6S8".
The MV B350i FMS FPLN page requires the four character identifier - e.g. K6S8 - and passes this to the MFD Chart Index page, which doesn't recognize it and therefore can't recognize the airport and load appropriate charts.
See screenshot .jpg attached of this example.
Unfortunately there is no workaround. The ALTERNATE option also requires 4 character codes, and OTHER AIRPORT option is currently inop.
If the airport has a conventional 4 character ICAO code, e.g. KBZN, all works well.
Looked but couldn't find seeany discussion of 3 vs 4 characters on the Navigraph Charts forum.
Fix on MV side might be to allow search entry a 3 letter IATA identifier or a 4 letter ICAO - JeppView works this way,

Thanks for the report. I've passed it up the chain for further review.
