NEW WAYPOINT Page

The NEW WAYPOINT page allows definition of waypoints as latitude/longitude

points, place/ bearing/distance points or as runways. When the page first appears,

it is blank except for the labels and boxes, prompting the flight crew's choice of

definition types. This page is accessed from the DEFINED WAYPOINT page by

pushing LSK 4R of that page.

The flight crew may enter a new waypoint by typing the identifier (IDENT) in 1L

and pushing LSK 1L. If the identifier is already in the database, a subsequent

call-up of the waypoint will result in the display of the DUPLICATE NAMES

page. The DUPLICATE NAMES page allows selection of a specific waypoint,

runway or navaid when more than one with same identifier exists in the database.

After entering the identifier in 1L, the flight crew may enter either a

latitude/longitude by typing LAT/LONG in the SP and pushing LSK 2L or a

place/bearing/distance by typing in the place/bearing/distance in the SP and

pushing LSK 3L. If a latitude/longitude is entered in 2L (LAT/LONG) then 3L

(PLACE/BRG/DIST) is blanked. If a place/bearing/distance is entered in 3L, then

the latitude and longitude are computed and displayed in 2L.

If a runway entry is desired, type the runway in the SP and push LSK 1L. In this

case either 2L or 3L data must also be entered and the position is assumed to be

the threshold.

The prompts ELEV, LENGTH and CRS will appear in 4L, 5L and 6L and the data

must be filled in before ENTER is displayed in 6R, allowing the new waypoint to

be entered in the database.

If there are already 40 defined waypoints, the first one in the defined waypoints

list that is not in the flight plan is deleted and the newly defined one entered. If

there are none that are not in the flight plan, then entry of the new one is not

allowed.
