 Enter Radial/Distance – Press the “New” LSK then
press the “Format” LSK until the “Rad/Dist” option
appears. Enter the fix, radial, and distance. Then, press
the “Enter” LSK to save the waypoint.
Some external EFIS systems (e.g. Bendix King EFS 40/50,
Collins Pro Line 21, etc) can also create and send user waypoints
to the IFD. When the waypoint data is received from the external
EFIS, the IFD will automatically switch to the WPT tab if not
already there.
NAMING A USER WAYPOINT
Each user waypoint can be assigned a 5 character identifier that
can be used in the FMS anywhere a nav database waypoint can
be used. You can elect to use the automatically assigned 5
character identifier (format is “WP###”) or re-name that as
desired. A longer description can also be attached to each user
waypoint using the “Name” field. In each case, those names can
be entered by either touching the specific field and using the
virtual keyboard or by using the bottom right knob.
DELETING A USER WAYPOINT
There are two methods to delete an existing user waypoint.
Either highlight the waypoint to be deleted and press the “CLR”
button on the bezel, and then the “ENTR” button when the green
confirm dialog box is displayed, or, use the “Delete Waypoint”
LSK along the left edge of the display and then use the “ENTR”
button when the green confirm dialog box is displayed (or touch
the green box).
DESIGNATING A USER WAYPOINT AS AN AIRFIELD
To designate a user waypoint as an airfield, the waypoint must be
manually named using the format “AIRPORT XXXXXFT” where
XXXX is the field’s elevation and note that the space is critical in
naming the point.
