-
ment, latitude/longitude position, or reference

CREATING USER WAYPOINTS
User waypoints may be created from the User Waypoint
Information Page or the Navigation Map Page. To create a

Page, enter its name (identifier) and position, or reference
another waypoint by radial and distance.
To create a new user waypoint by entering
its latitude/longitude position:

displayed, press the
FMS knob to activate the
cursor.
2. Turn the
small and large FMS knobs to enter
a name for the new waypoint and press

ENT key. The message ‘Are you sure you want
to create the new user waypoint’ is displayed.
Press ‘YES’ to create the new waypoint. The
present position is displayed in the information
box. The comment in the comment box is auto-
generated based on the reference waypoint
usage. If the waypoint was defined with two
reference waypoints, then this comment would
be generated based on the radials (i.e. OJC354
/ ICT057).

large FMS knob to highlight the posi-
tion field in the information box.
