I was planning an arrival on LFMN (Nice Côte d’Azur) on runway 04L, using the
RNAV 04L Z approach through MUS. Everything was looking fine, except for the
FN04L waypoint. This waypoint is part of the RNAV 04L Z approach, defined with
its ICAO, which is OK, but it seems it is not defined in the database. I am
saying this because I wasn’t able to get its coordinates using its ICAO code.
For instance, I tried this very simple piece of JS code:
instrument.facilityLoader.getFacility(icao).then((f) => {
if (f) {
console.log(f.infos.coordinates);
}
else {
console.log("ERROR: Facility not found");
}
});
If I use the ICAO that is defined in the approach, that is WLFLFMNFN04L, I
always get the error message which seems to prove this ICAO is not present in
the database. If I search for FN04L, the only point I find is WPAPANNFN04L
waypoint, which is thousands of miles away from LFMN… For information, here
is an extract of the approach map showing where this FN04L waypoint is:
