knob. Move to the next character in the field by pushing the knob. If an incorrect character is
entered, retreat to the previous character by pushing-and-holding the knob for one second.
After completing the edit of each field, select another field to edit by touching the desired field.
The six editable fields for a waypoint are:
• ID - IDENTIFIER: 8-character identifier which will appear on the map at the waypoint’s
location. Similar to an airport ID or fix label.
• NAME: a 22-character text field for describing the waypoint. This name will only appear
in the waypoint control pages but will not be displayed on the moving map.
• LATITUDE: the latitude value defining the waypoint’s position.
• LONGITUDE: the longitude value defining the waypoint’s position.
• ALTITUDE: a reference altitude associated with the waypoint. This altitude value is
informational only and is not used for navigation by the autopilot.
• Customizable Icon: each waypoint can be assigned a symbol or icon to further identify
its location on the moving map. The user can select from a built-in list of multiple
symbols in multiple colors.
Once all information has been entered for the new waypoint, complete the process by taking
one of the following actions:
• RETURN: Select the RETURN icon in the upper left corner of the page to save the
new waypoint and return to the USER WAYPOINTS page.
• CANCEL: Select the CANCEL button at the bottom of the page to exit the ADD
WAYPOINT page without saving the new waypoint, and return to the USER WAYPOINTS
page.
• ADD TO FPL: Select the ADD TO FPL button to 1) save the waypoint to the User
Waypoints database and 2) insert the newly created waypoint into the current flight
plan. In that case, the ADD WAYPOINT page will be closed, the FLIGHT PLAN page will
open, and page navigation will proceed normally from controls on the FLIGHT PLAN
page.
• SAVE: Select the SAVE button to save the new waypoint and return to the USER
WAYPOINTS page. This action is identical to selecting the RETURN icon at the top left
corner of the page.
When new user waypoints are saved, they will automatically be synchronized across multiple
SkyView displays in the aircraft provided they are connected via an optional Ethernet
connection. See the SkyView Classic / SE / HDX System Installation Guide for more details about
this connection.
