Push –
• when current route course (165°) displayed, selects it as intercept course to
active waypoint
• displays entry or current route course as course to active waypoint
• removes ABEAM PTS and RTE COPY prompts
To change intercept course:
• enter the inbound intercept course (150°) in the scratchpad
• select the INTC CRS TO line to change the leg direction; intercept course
to BTG of 150° is entered in the INTC CRS TO line and above the active
waypoint
Intercept Course From
The steps to create an intercept course from a waypoint are like the steps for an
intercept course to. The waypoint name in the scratchpad is suffixed with the
outbound course.
An intercept course can be created outbound from a waypoint in the navigation
database or from present position. The waypoint does not have to be in the route.
Entering a waypoint and course pair in the active waypoint line displays the INTC
CRS FROM prompt. The FMC calculates a route leg with the waypoint as the
origin of the entered course.
The example shows a 090° course from BTG, entered as BTG090. When this
course intercept is line selected to the active waypoint line, the course (090°)
displays in the leg direction and the waypoint displays as a conditional waypoint
consisting of a course intercept (090°).
