How to - INS Remote Entry Function

As of v1.0.5 Update, you can now remotely enter waypoints across all three INS units manually or via Simbrief Import from the Paper Flight Bag (PFB) - OFP Page.

Remote Entry Function (RMT)

Due to the complexity of the original autofill procedure and common user difficulties when operating the INS, this feature has been simplified to provide a more intuitive user experience while preserving the intent of the real system.

The process generally works as follows:

• Set the desired units to RMT mode (at least 2 required for this operation).

• Enter waypoints manually or import them from Simbrief into the transmitting (TX) unit using the standard procedures.

• Each time a latitude or longitude is inserted (by pressing INSERT) or when an Simbrief import is completed, the TX unit will automatically transfer the data to all receiving (RX) units.

Remote Manual Entry (v1.0.5+)

Procedure

• Set INS 1, 2 and 3 MSU to STBY , ALIGN or NAV on the overhead panel

• Set INS 1, 2 or 3 Mode to RMT (at least 2 units required for this function)

• Set the Display Selector Switch to WPT on the Transmitting (TX) unit

• Set WPT Selector Switch to any number from 1-9 on the TX unit

• Enter Waypoint Coordinates on the TX unit

• The entered waypoint LAT and LON will update automatically on your TX unit and any other Receiving (RX) unit set to RMT as you press INSERT.
  Note: The waypoint will be entered into the same WPT number as selected on the main unit (i.e. if you populate WPT 3 on TX Unit, any other RX Unit will also populate its WPT 3 position)

• Set INS 1, 2 and 3 Mode to AUTO or MAN for navigation.

Example

In the example video we have remotely entered N3701.0 W00758.0 into WPT 3 from INS 2 (TX) to INS 1+3 (RX) at the same time via RMT function.

Remote SB Import (v1.0.6+)

Procedure

• Set INS 1, 2 and 3 MSU to STBY , ALIGN or NAV on the overhead panel

• Set INS 1, 2 or 3 Mode to RMT (at least 2 units required for this function)

• Use Captain's PFB to import to INS 1 (or First Officer's PFB to import to INS 2)

• The waypoints will be imported to INS 1 (or INS 2) and the other INS units set to RMT.

• The auto-batch logic (if more than 9 waypoints on SB import), will apply to the main and any other RMT unit as well.

• Set INS 1, 2 and 3 Mode to AUTO or MAN for navigation.

Example

In the example video below we have remotely imported from the FO PFB to INS 2 (TX) and INS 1+3 (RX) at the same time via RMT function.
