Examples: OM25L, MM09, IM23, RW04, RW18L.
For airports with more than one approach to the same runway, the two letter prefix
may change to allow different identifiers for the same waypoint. The first letter
identifies the type of fix and the second letter identifies the type approach as
follows:
Examples: CI32R, PV15, FN24L.
Unnamed turn points that are part of a procedure are identified as a latitude and
longitude waypoint. These include waypoints (except conditional waypoints)
defined by flying a course or track from a waypoint (except conditional
waypoints) to a radial or DME distance. These waypoints are automatically
entered in a route by selection of a procedure using these waypoints, from the
departures or arrivals page.
Airport reference points are identified by the ICAO identifier.
Duplicate Waypoints
Application of the abbreviation rules may create identical identifiers for different
waypoints. When a duplicate waypoint identifier is entered, the page changes to
the SELECT DESIRED WPT page. The page lists the latitude and longitude of
waypoints with the same identifier and the type of facility or waypoint. Select the
latitude/longitude of the correct waypoint to enter the correct waypoint on the
original page.
Conditional Waypoints
Conditional waypoints may display in the route when selecting a DEPARTURES
or ARRIVALS page procedure. Usually, conditional waypoints cannot be
manually entered on a route or legs page. These waypoints indicate when an event
occurs and are not at a geographically–fixed position. The types of conditions are:
• climb/descent through an altitude
• flying a heading to a radial or DME distance
• intercepting a course
• heading vectors to a course or fix
• C( ) – final approach course fix
• F( ) – final approach fix
• P( ) – missed approach point
• I( ) – initial approach fix
• D( ) – minimum descent altitude
• T( ) – touch down point
• R( ) – runway centerline
intercept.
• ( )I – ILS
• ( )L – localizer only
• ( )B –back course ILS
• ( )D – VOR/DME
• ( )V – VOR only
• ( )S – VOR with DME points
• ( )N – NDB
• ( )Q – NDB with DME points
• ( )T – Tacan
• ()R – RNAV
