TUTORIAL #2

27FEB15 RTM DO NOT DUPLICATE For Simulator Use Only

This waypoint functions like any other, you can assign it a speed

and altitude restriction on the right side of the CDU and so on.

If we wanted to actually insert this waypoint, we’d press the

illuminated EXEC button, but there’s no reason to do this right

now since it’s just a teaching example.

 Press LSK 6L to ERASE the modification, cancelling it.

We can also create what’s known as a “place bearing distance” waypoint.

These have numerous frequent uses in IFR flying.

 Press LSK 1L to copy TESGA into the scratchpad.

 Type 270/20 after it - the full entry looks like TESGA270/20

 Press LSK 1L to insert the new waypoint.

We now have a TES01 waypoint that is located on the 270

degree bearing from TESGA at 20nm. A discontinuity is

automatically inserted when creating this type of waypoint. The

new waypoint also appears on the ND. Notice that putting it into

LSK 1L would send us direct to it as well.
