Cheers everyone

I'm stuck in the Chart main index window and it seems there is no way out.

Neither the ESC nor the NAV button do anything atm, a few minutes before I was at least "able" to use the ESC button to switch between the window in the screenshot and the Status menu while now all I can do is use the STAT button to get to the status menu and the ESC button to get back to the Chart main index. NAV des nothing, CHART brings me to the same Chart menu as well.

I got there pressing the CHART button with I believe the checklist shown in the MFD.

presing CHART and then PUSH SELECT will display the AIRPORT chart window completely black, no chart. My Navigraph sub is correctly validated in the Kingair.

This has happend a couple of times before and I have never been able to get back to the NAV screen. Even a complete electrical shutdown (gens, bat, avionics, EFIS) won't help.

Any advice would be appreciated, 330 miles to go

To reproduce it:

I clicked on CHART, then on STAT, back on CHART then ESC and can't go anywhere anymore now.

It's real easy to get back to the nav display but not obvious. Click the 2nd button down on the left side of the center display. I will try to reproduce the problem with the charts to see if there is a bug there.

okay THAT was indeed not obvious Thank you, it helps getting back =)

Glad to know I was not the only one wanting to pick a hammer whenever I wanted to go back from the chart menu I eventually end up managing to close it, but I never found out how I did that

I believe that is the format button for the nav display. If you click it multiple times you can see the different formats available. It is also the reason you see "FMS text incompatible" - because you have no flight plan to display for the selected format.
