When the waypoint has been previously defined the coordinates will
be displayed and the radial and distance values will be computed
based on the location of the parent waypoint. (Figure 2-87)
If the parent waypoint is a waypoint from an airport continuation
record (runway or outer marker associated with a specific airport), the
airport identifier will be displayed immediately below the offset way-
point identifier.
If a parent waypoint has a duplicate identifier in the database, the
country code will be displayed immediately below the offset waypoint
identifier. (Figure 2-87)
RAD:
The radial from the parent waypoint in degrees and tenths of degrees,
along which the offset is established. This entry will be annunciated
with a T if a true heading input is received or if the parent waypoint is
north of N 70°or south of S 60°latitude. (Figure 2-87)
NOTE: The radial can be entered in whole numbers without a trailing
0. i.e. enter 070 or 70 and 070.0 will be displayed. To enter a tenth of
a radial all 4 digits must be entered. i.e. 0701 will be displayed as
070.1. The DIS entry requires a trailing 0 be entered for any DIS
value greater than .9. i.e. enter 100 to display 10.0.
DIS:
The distance from the parent waypoint to the offset waypoint (1999.9
maximum enterable). (Figure 2-87)
POS:
The computed offset waypoint coordinates based on the pilot entered
radial and distance from the parent waypoint. (Figure 2-87)
OK? ENTER:
The procedure for accepting the waypoint if the coordinates are cor-
rect is to depress the ENTERKey. (Figure 2-87)
SPECIAL WAYPOINTS
#0,#1 and #OFF are special waypoints defined automatically by the
system based on the airplane position.
#0 After pressing the d key and ENTER key the position after the
turn where the airplane intercepts the course to the direct to waypoint.
The #0 waypoint is defined as the point from which a DIRECT TO
waypoint leg has begun. Should the DIRECT TO procedure require a
