CREATING USER WAYPOINTS

UserwaypointsmaybecreatedfromtheUserWaypoint Information Page or the Navigation Map Page. To create a new user waypoint from the User Waypoint Information Page, enter its name (identifier) and position, or reference another waypoint by radial and distance.

To create a new user waypoint by entering its latitude/longitude position:

1.With the User Waypoint Information Page displayed, press the FMS knob to activate the cursor.

2.Turn the small and large FMS knobs to enter a name for the new waypoint and press the ENT key. The message ‘Are you sure you want to create the new user waypoint’ is displayed. Press ‘YES’ to create the new waypoint. The present position is displayed in the information box.The comment in the comment box is autogenerated based on the reference waypoint usage. If the waypoint was defined with two reference waypoints,then this comment would be generated based on the radials (i.e.OJC354 / ICT057).

3.Turn the large FMS knob to highlight the position field in the information box.

4.Turn the smallandlargeFMSknobs to enter the position coordinates for the new waypoint.

5.Press the ENT key to accept the selected position.

6.Press the FMS knob to remove the flashing cursor.
