VERT REV Page 2/2
The VERT REV page 2 allows the crew to enter wind and temperature
information for prediction purposes. This page is accessible from the VERT REV
page 1 via the PAGE key, by right LSKs corresponding to cruise waypoints on the
ACT F-PLN page 2, or from another VERT REV page 2 via the PREV or NEXT
prompt.
The title at the top of the page is the respective waypoint of the flight plan the
VERT REV page 2 corresponds to.
A maximum of four different altitude/wind combinations may be entered in lines
2L, 3L, 4L, and 5L. The FMS automatically arranges the entries by altitude in
descending order from the top to the bottom of the page. Entered altitudes at any
waypoint are carried over to all waypoints, but the winds for each altitude may be
unique to each waypoint. Entries of altitude only, or altitude and wind are
acceptable and are displayed in large font. Altitude entries may be entered as
either flight levels (FL200 or 200) or as pressure altitudes (20000). The wind
bearing and wind speed may be entered without the altitude when the altitude
already exists. In such a case, wind bearing and speed may be entered either with
or without a leading slash. Selecting one of the altitude/wind LSKs with CLR in
the SP clears the entire entry, and upon insertion will clear all waypoint
altitude/wind entries for that altitude.
If the crew has entered and inserted wind data at a given altitude for at least one
waypoint, then all waypoints for which no entries have been made at that altitude
will have wind data automatically computed for them. This computation is
accomplished by using the inserted values to all other waypoints. These wind
values are displayed in small font.
