point after the airport identifier or departure runway. After loading the
SID on to the Active FPL, access NAV Pg 1. Enter the first waypoint
after the runway or airport identifier in the FR field. Press ENTER.
The TO field will display the next waypoint in sequence from the FPL.
Press ENTER again to complete the initialization of the first leg of the
flight plan. The flight crew must manually fly the airplane until reach-
ing the first leg of the SID that can be flown by the FMS.
The following procedures contain leg types that the FMS cannot
automatically fly, and require manual intervention by the pilot. The fol-
lowing operational procedures are recommended.
NOTE: Some SIDs and STARs require intercept procedures upon
reaching a specified altitude. In these cases, execute the Pseudo
Vortac, Direct To or Heading Intercept procedure upon reaching the
specified altitude.
The CDU display, Figure 3-
21, shows the waypoints that
would be added to the flight
plan through reference to the
ELMAA5
SID, HQM transi-
tion from RW16L.
Heading to Intercept Procedures
The shaded area on the SID chart, Figure 3-20, is an example of the
portion of the procedure that must be flown manually or in the F/D
heading mode. No reference to the GNS-X
L should be made at this
time.
For procedures like the example in Figure 3-20, the following opera-
tional procedures are recommended.
1. Prior to departure, tune the Seattle VOR, select the VOR as the
NAV source and set the HSI course pointer to 158°.
2. After departure, intercept the SEA 158° radial. After crossing the
SEA 5 DME fix at or above 3000’, turn right to 250°.
3. Select the FMS Heading and enter 250, then Intercept mode on
the FMS. Select ELMAA as the TO waypoint and enter 227 in
the DTK field and press ENTER.
