Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Entering Waypoints by Name

waypoints, it will be inserted above the box. Since our goal is to continue with
creating the flightplan, press INSERT.
We have returned to the waypoint creation screen. Enter SAX (screen #A6) for the
Sparta VOR and press DONE, followed by ADD.
Again, press INSERT, and now enter SWF (screen #A7) for Stewart Airport, followed
by DONE and. ADD.
Press DONE, followed by SAVE, to store the flightplan in the Argus.
Entering Waypoints by Name
Throughout this manual, we show waypoint selection by "identifier." If you don't
happen to know the identifier, you can search for a facility by its name or by its
location. For instance, if you don't happen to know Boston's main airport is "BOS",
you can enter "BOST" or "LOGAN" or even "GEN" (General Logan). After the
Argus searches through known identifiers, it will search by name, first through navaids,
then through landing facilities. The search only considers facilities that are allowed in
your AMEND selections. It treats each word in the name or location as a separate
entity, so you can find DES MOINES either by "DES" or "MOIN." If you search by
name, it can take longer to find what you're looking for, since the Argus has to search
through a lot more information, and you have to accept or reject each "match." You
can speed the search by selecting a good "key." In the example above, entering
"MOIN" will result in far fewer false matches than "DES." The Argus begins each
comparison at the beginning of a word. You can't find "BOSTON" by entering
"OSTO."
Modifying A Flightplan
Now let's try something different. Instead of adding a WPT at the end of the
flightplan, let's insert one between SAX and SWF. After saving the flightplan, we are
in the EDIT FP/WPT menu. Select MODIFY FP/WPT, followed by MODIFY
FLIGHT PLAN (screen #A8). The first two keys, NEXT FP and PREV FP allow you
to select the flightplan to modify. The one last used is preserved, so it shouldn't be
necessary to press either key. Press MOD to select the current flightplan to modify,
and use the NEXT WPT key to move the block cursor over SWF (screen #A9). Now
press MOD, and the data on SWF (screen #A10) will appear, with the options to
