F-PLN INIT Page
NOTES: Most boxes must be filled in for FMS operation.
INIT pages may also be accessed during preflight through the REF
key, A/C STATUS prompt, and F-PLN INIT prompt.
Once a primary destination is defined, lines 2L, 2R, 5L, and 6R display boxes
(mandatory entries). Entry of an alternate destination in 2R also brings up the
route selection page. An alternate company route may be cleared by entering zero
into 2L.
Latitude and longitude of the origin are obtained from the nav database and
displayed in 3L and 3R or may be entered while dashes are displayed (to allow for
IRS alignment prior to flight plan entry). The scroll prompt arrows are displayed
by LAT initially but can be moved over to LONG by pushing 3R with the
Scratchpad (SP) empty. Pushing 3L again moves the scroll prompt arrows back to
LAT. The scroll arrows increment LAT or LONG magnitude in 0.1-minute steps.
LAT and LONG may also be edited through the SP. The latitude and longitude
fields will be blanked when the aircraft is airborne.
INITIALIZE IRS* is displayed in 4R when there is a displayed LAT/LONG, and
an IRU is in the align mode requesting a present position entry. Pushing 4R with
the SP empty transmits the displayed latitude and longitude to the IRUs and
redisplays the POS REF page prompt.
During the align mode, while the POS REF prompt is displayed, a new latitude
and/or longitude may be entered with the SP or scroll arrows. The change will
cause the INITIALIZE IRS prompt to be redisplayed. Selecting the prompt will
transmit the new position to the IRUs and redisplay the IRS STATUS prompt.
Alternatively, the INITIALIZE IRS prompt may be cleared, redisplaying the last
transmitted position and the POS REF prompt.
The FLT NO at 4L is a mandatory entry. This field may not be cleared.
