INITIALIZATION POSITION
The Initialization Position for non-IRS equipped systems should be
the departure runway threshold. For IRS equipped systems, the
ramp or alignment LAT/LONG position should be inserted as
Initialization Position.
NOTE: Once the INITIALIZATION Page appears, and after a brief
delay, the IDENT field normally prefills with the ICAO ident of the air-
port closest to the aircraft position at shut-down, provided the air-
craft’s real position and system position were the same at system
shutdown.
The Departure Position may be entered using either:
Option 1: Using the IDENT field for non-IRS equipped systems
Option 2: Using the POS field
Option 1: Using the IDENT field for non-IRS equipped systems
(Entering Alpha and Numeric Identifiers on the Initialization Page)
1. Line Select Key - DEPRESS to position cursor over the IDENT
field (if required).
Enter letters of the departure airport’s ICAO identifier. Enter let-
ters and numbers of the departure airport if it is a non-ICAO iden-
tifier.
2. ENTER Key - DEPRESS.
3. Airport Reference Point
(ARP) coordinates will be
displayed with continua-
tion records listed below.
To access the airport
continuation records,
position the cursor over a
departure runway identi-
fier. This will automati-
cally result in the display
of the departure runway
threshold in the waypoint
