Note concerning BRG / DIST [Line 4] on PROG page

Any WPT, Navaid, ARPT ident, RWY ident, LAT/LONG, PLACE-

BRG/PLACE-BRG or PLACE/BRG/DIST may be entered in [4R].

An entry into this field is only displayed on the onside MCDU.

Calculation is the great circle BRG/DIST

from the present position to the

entered WPT.

This calculation is updated every 2

seconds and is not deleted when a new

MCDU page is accessed.

When a RWY is used, the distance and

bearing are computed from the A/C

position to the RWY threshold point.

If a LAT/LONG, PLACE-BRG/PLACE-BRG

or PLACE/BRG/DIST is entered, [4R]

field displays ENTRY.

Insertion of such entry does not impact

the list of pilot defined WPTs.

If the entered ident is not found in

NAVdb or in pilot defined file, the NEW

WAYPOINT page is displayed.

If a pilot defined waypoint (WPT,

NAVAID, ARPT or RWY) has been

entered, and then deleted through DELETE ALL prompt on A/C STATUS

page or on PILOT WAYPOINT page, the display reverts to brackets with

BRG/DIST dashed.
