DISPLAY OF AIRWAYS ON THE FLIGHT PLAN PAGE

AIRWAY HEADING

When an airway segment has been inserted into the flight plan a white heading is displayed after the entry

waypoint as shown in Figure 5-80.

Airway Identifier

Exit Waypoint

Identifier

Airway – aaaaa.wwwww, where aaaaa is the airway identifier and wwwww is the exit waypoint identifier

(Figure 5-79). Below the airway header, the waypoints of the airway are indented one space to create some
visual separation between the airway and any subsequent off-airway waypoints that could be used on the
flight plan.

The PFD Flight Plan Window only displays the airway identifier and exit waypoint (Figure 5-

80).

OPERATIONS USING THE CURSOR

1)

On the MFD, bringing the cursor over the airway heading centers the map on the airway segment.

2)

Pressing the CLR Key displays a prompt asking “Remove aaaaa.wwwww from Flight Plan OK or CANCEL”. If
OK is pressed, the airway segment is removed (but not the entry waypoint). If the exit waypoint is the entry
waypoint of a subsequent airway or if it overlaps an arrival or an approach, the exit waypoint is not removed.

3)

‘Load Airway’ can be selected with the cursor over the airway heading. That brings back the Airway Loading
Page which is initialized to the airway segment that is currently in the flight plan.

4)

A new waypoint can be entered with the cursor over the airway header. The new waypoint is inserted ahead of
the airway header (after the airway entry waypoint).
