• Press E again to approve this waypoint page. The waypoint page
being created will return with the cursor over the dashes to the right of
RAD.
• Use the right inner and outer knobs to select the radial (from the refer-
ence waypoint). The radial may be selected to the nearest tenth of a
degree.
• Press E. The cursor will move to the dashes to the right of DIS.
• Use the right inner and outer knobs to select the distance. The distance
may be selected to the nearest tenth of a nautical mile.
• Press E. The latitude and longitude is calculated and displayed. The
user-defined waypoint is now created.
NOTE: Entering the reference waypoint, radial, and distance is done only
to define the user waypoint’s latitude and longitude position. The refer-
ence waypoint, radial, and distance are not stored as part of the user way-
point. As soon as another page is viewed on the right side, these parame-
ters are lost. If the SUP page for this user waypoint is displayed at a later
time, the radial and distance from the closest VOR will be displayed after
a few seconds. The original reference may, of course, be re-entered at
any time.
10.3 Creating A Waypoint By Entering A Latitude/Longitude Position
The third method of creating a user-defined waypoint is to directly enter a
latitude/longitude position. To create a waypoint in this manner:
• Follow the steps presented in section 10.0 to enter a waypoint identifier.
• Rotate the right outer knob to position the cursor over USER POS? and
press E. A user waypoint page will appear with the identifier at the top
of the page and the cursor over a dashed latitude field.
• Turn the right inner knob to display an N (for North) or an S (for South).
• Select the latitude in degrees, minutes, and hundredths of a minute by
using the right outer knob to position the cursor and the right inner knob
to select the desired numbers.
• When the complete latitude has been selected, press E. The cursor
will jump down to the longitude field.
• Turn the right inner knob to select W (for West) or E (for East).
• Use the right outer and inner knobs to select the longitude.
• Press E. The user-defined waypoint is now created.
