When I was in the demo mode, I set a flight plan containing the ENO VORTAC. On the waypoint in the extended instrument group, ENO list listed as "ENOVORTACKEN". Seems to me there is a typo here and it should be "ENO_VORTAC". Maybe someone heard TACAN and typed TACKEN? Anyway, the combination of a VOR and a TACAN is a VORTAC.
Also, on the flight plan, it shows the expanded name of the VOR as "SMYRNA VORTAC" which is OK but I would prefer the use of the three letter identifier first as in "ENO SMYRNA VORTAC" or even, include the frequency such as "ENO 111.4 SMYRNA VORTAC".
I would like the above fixed first, the third request (not as important) is to add an expansion information about the VOR itself, similar to what is done with an airport. The frequency and Morse ID would be real handy (I know, they are on the sectionals!).
Here's an example from AIRNAV.COM:
Type: VORTAC
Class: L-VORTAC
Frequency: 111.40
TACAN channel: 051X
Altitude code: L (low)
Use at high altitude: yes
Hours of operation: 24
Voice ID: no
Morse ID: . -. ---
Station call name: MILLVILLE RADIO
NOTAM facility: MIV
FSS:
FSS hours of operation: 24
For another VOR waypoint, it shows "VCNVORTACMILL". VCN is another VORTAC but is associated with the Millville Radio. Could Millville be the reason for the "MILL" at the end of the name of the waypoint on the extended instrument group? It should be only "VCN_VORTAC". Similaryly, the flight plan lists VCN as "Cedar Lake VORTAC" and does not have the three letter VCN in the flight plan.
