(3) Circle patterns require all parameters
defined above except for pattern length. MFP geometry
definitions are shown in Figure 3C–99.
CRP's are special patterns made up of crew
defined points connected together to form an enclosed
flight path. A CRP may be flown in repeated forward or
reverse sequence.
(4) MFP Entry Guidance. The FMS–800
provides entry guidance into MFP's similar to that for
holding patterns.
(5) Designation of the Pattern Fix. The pattern
fix can be specified either directly on the MFP pages or
by attaching an MFP to a flight plan waypoint. To
specify the pattern fix on the MFP page and insert it in
the flight plan, press the FPLN INSR line select key on
the MFP page. This accesses the Flight Plan page with
INSERT XXX BEFORE? displayed in the scratchpad.
Where XXX is FG8, RTK, CIR, or CRP depending on
which type of MFP was defined. After the flight plan is
scrolled to the desired location, press the line select key
adjacent to the waypoint, which will follow the pattern fix.
