DEFINED WAYPOINT Page
This page displays or allows deletion of waypoints defined by the flight crew. The
illustration shows a waypoint defined as a place/bearing/distance. In this example,
this is the 8th of the allowable 40 flight crew-definable waypoints as indicated by
the 8/40 at the right end of the title line. The other defined waypoints are displayed
by use of the 1R NEXT and 2R PREV prompts. Definition of a new waypoint may
be done on the ACT F-PLN page 1 or SEC F-PLN page 1 or on the NEW
WAYPOINT page accessed by 4R. Line 5R deletes all defined waypoints, but
waypoints may be deleted singly by use of the CLR key line selected to 1L.
Deletion is not allowed if the waypoint is constrained in either the active or
secondary flight plan.
If the waypoint had been defined as a latitude/longitude waypoint the
place/bearing/distance data in 3L would be blank. If it had been defined as a
runway, the elevation, length, and course information would be displayed in lines
4L, 5L, and 6L as on the WAYPOINT page.
All defined waypoints are deleted upon flight completion unless they are stored in
the secondary flight plan.
