The selected fix is displayed on the navigation display map mode and highlighted
by a green circle.
2 Distance Entry (example)
Enter a distance from the fix. Distances from the fix are displayed on the
navigation display map mode as a dashed green circle around the fix.
When the distance intersects the active route, the ETA, DTG, and predicted
altitude at the intersection are displayed for that intersection.
If there is more than one intersection, the data will apply to the first occurrence
and will sequence as each intersection is passed.
Valid entries are xxx.x:
• distance is limited to 511 NM or less and may contain 1/10 NM entry
• leading zeros can be omitted for distance
• decimal values can be omitted
• distance only entries must start with a /.
ETA – displays the estimated time of arrival to the intersection point.
DTG – displays the distance to go to the intersection point.
ALT – displays the predicted altitude at the intersection point.
3 Radial Entry (example)
Enter a radial from the fix. Radials are displayed on the navigation display map
mode as green dashed lines from the fix.
When the radial intersects the active route, the ETA, DTG, and predicted altitude
at the intersection are displayed.
If there is more than one intersection, the data will apply to the first occurrence
and will sequence as each intersection is passed.
Valid entries are xxx or xxx/.
4 ABEAM
Displays the abeam point and calculates the ETA, DTG, and ALT information.
The fix abeam point ahead of the airplane is displayed by a radial line from the
waypoint ending at the nearest perpendicular route leg intersection.
If there is more than one intersection, the data will apply to the first occurrence
and will sequence as each intersection is passed.
