IniSteve Posted September 25 Posted September 25 You can create 'custom waypoints' using latitude and longitude coordinates in the DATA menu. This allows you to create stored waypoints anywhere in the world. You may recall these custom waypoints with whatever name (IDENT) you defined for them for use on the F-PLN page. To define custom waypoints: Find the LAT/LON coordinates of the point you want to add onto the MCDU. You'll find this info typically from your OFP or known coordinates . On the MCDU press DATA > Next Page > Waypoints (L1 LSK) Here if you have already defined a waypoint before, it will show up its IDENT and let you create a NEW WAYPOINT (R5 LSK). If you haven't made any before, then simply give it a name of your choice (E.g. ETOP1) and then enter its LAT/LONG (L2 LSK) in the format DDMM.MB/DDDMM.MB (E.g from above OFP, ETP 1 = 3402.5N/14001.1W) To save it click STORE (R6 LSK), note the displayed format will vary slightly from what you've entered Then return to F-PLN page and insert your desired waypoint where you want it. Note you must use the same IDENT as defined above (e.g. ETOP1) You can add new custom waypoints (max 20) or delete existing ones from the DATA index page 2, via the STORED WAYPOINTS (R1 LSK) page.
