ACARS ROUTE Page

Line 1L displays the company route identifier. Line 1R displays the flight number.

Below lines 1L and 1R, the most recently received route data (read from left to

right) is shown. A longer route will generate additional pages.

Line 6L displays DUPLICATE NAMES when several waypoints, navaids or

airport runways have the same identifier in the ACARS flight plan and cannot be

resolved automatically. When all duplicate names have been resolved, the

DUPLICATE NAMES prompt is replaced by INSERT.

Line 6L INSERT, inserts the ACARS route and any optional performance data

into the secondary flight plan and inserts the flight number into the F-PLN INIT

page. If performance factor is present in the ACARS data, it is also inserted in the

secondary flight plans. After inserting, the page display returns to ACARS

MENU. Access to the ACARS ROUTE page is not allowed following insertion,

until new route data is received.

If the uplinked data contains a non-precision approach, an MDA entry is required

in 5R before the insert prompt is displayed in 6L. The MDA can only be edited

before the insert prompt is pushed. After the route is inserted the MDA will not be

displayed on the ROUTE REVIEW page. Editing the MDA can be accomplished

on a secondary STAR page after the route has been inserted.

Line 6R RETURN TO ACARS, is used to return to the ACARS MENU page

without inserting the data. The route data remains available for later review until

replaced by newly received route data.

NOTES: The DUPLICATE NAMES page lists all the waypoints with

duplicate names and each lat/long. Pushing an LSK next to the

waypoint enters the waypoint and returns to the ACARS ROUTE

review page.

To insert route data into the active flight plan, the ACTIVATE

SECONDARY prompt must be selected on the secondary flight plan

INIT page.
