(4) User Waypoint Naming. Waypoints
within the FMS can be given a user-defined identifier
name by applying a / followed by the desired waypoint
name. Refer to Figure 3C–107 and Table 3C-75.
Valid waypoints that can be named by this function are
latitude/longitude
and
ident/bearing/distance
waypoints. ICAO identifier or existing user-defined
waypoints can not be renamed with the user waypoint
naming function.
To apply a user waypoint name to a waypoint,
and insert that waypoint into the user waypoint list,
enter a / followed by a waypoint name consisting of
two to five characters. This name can be applied to
waypoints on the Flight Plan, Alternate Flight Plan
Waypoints, Alternate Flight Plan Leg A, MFP, Tactical
Approach, Markpoint, RAIM Prediction, and Update
pages. Once inserted into the user waypoint list, the
newly named waypoint can be used like any other
ICAO identifier waypoint.
To complete the definition of the named
waypoint, access the User Waypoint List page for the
named waypoint and change the desired parameters
in the waypoint definition. The default definition is for
a FIX waypoint with undefined elevation.
