WAYPOINT:
(Figure 2-86). Same as pre-
vious.
POS:
If the waypoint has been pre-
viously defined, the coordi-
nates of the waypoint will be
displayed as stored in mem-
ory. These coordinates may
be changed at any time.
(Figure 2-86)
OK? ENT:
The procedure for accepting the waypoint if the coordinates are cor-
rect is to depress the ENT Key. (Figure 2-86)
OFFSET WAYPOINT
An offset waypoint is a set of
coordinates determined by a
selected radial and distance
from a previously defined or
database (parent) waypoint.
An * following the parent
waypoint denotes an offset
waypoint. (Figure 2-87)
More than one offset way-
point is allowed from one
parent, using [*], [*1], [*A1],
etc. as identifying notation.
NOTE: The offset waypoint uses station declination, if available, or it
uses the calculated magnetic variation of the parent waypoint. All
waypoints defined by a VHF Navaid in the National/International
Airspace System are based on the VHF Navaid station declination.
Since the magnetic variation and station declination may not be the
same at a given Navaid, the FMS calculated position and the defined
position may differ.
WAYPOINT:
The parent waypoint identifier followed by an *. When an offset way-
point identifier is entered and the waypoint has not been previously
defined, the RAD, DIS, and POS fields are all dashed.
