(at or below), if applicable. Only two
or three digits are required to input an
altitude (that is, enter 30A and 3000A
will be displayed). Full digit entry may
be used to enter an altitude. Altitudes
less than 1000 feet are entered with a
preceding zero (that is, enter 054 and
54 feet will be displayed). Any altitude
entered greater than the transition
level is converted and displayed as
FL.
NOTE
If the waypoint is part of a SID, STAR, or
approach procedure, the altitude constraint
pre-fills from database.
5. ENTER key Press. Cursor moves to
OFFSET field.
6. OFFSET - If applicable, insert value in
nautical miles (-99 to +99 range). If
offset is prior to the waypoint, enter
the range value and a (-) will pre-fill as
a default. Enter a (+), then the range
value, to indicate that the offset is
beyond the waypoint
NOTE
The cursor moves to the FPA field only if
the
entered
constraint
is
below
the
aircraft's present altitude.
To erase the offset value, insert 0 and
press ENTER key. The field will change to
dashes,
indicating
that
no
offset
is
programmed.
7. ENTER key Press. The cursor
moves to the FPA field.
(a) Programming A Descent Path.
NOTE
The FPA value field pre-fills with the
default value programmed on the VNAV
Data page if this waypoint was accessed
from the Flight Plan page. If accessed
from the NAV or Direct To page, the field
pre-fills with the DIR value. If an FPA is
manually entered, the FPA type field
changes to MAN.
To cancel the FPA, insert 0 then press
ENTER key. The field changes to dashes,
indicating no FPA is programmed, the
vertical deviation output is invalid and no
vertical
deviation
information
will
be
displayed on the CDU or the EADI/EHSI.
1. FPA Insert or verify (valid range
is 0.1 to 6.0).
2. With the cursor over the FPA
value, press the BACK key to
cycle through the following.
a. (DEF) FPA from VNAV Data
page.
b. (AUTO)
FPA
if
the
programmed
altitude
is
a
cross at type constraint and
there is a waypoint prior to the
AUTO FPA waypoint that has
a
cross
at
constraint
programmed. If no constraint
is programmed prior to the
AUTO
FPA
constraint
the
system uses the DEF FPA
value as AUTO.
c.
(DIR) FPA when waypoint is
called up on a Direct To or
Navigation
page,
altitude
crossing is defined, and direct
FPA is within valid range.
3. ENTER key Press.
NOTE
When
an
FPA
is
programmed
at
a
waypoint, a G appears next to the altitude
constraint indicating a glideslope and
vertical
deviation
information
will
be
available. If a glide path is programmed to
a runway or ARP and it is not part of an
approach procedure, the vertical deviation
will become invalid at 1000 feet above the
airport elevation.
(3) Reviewing VNAV Database Waypoints.
When SID's, STAR's, or approaches have altitude
constraints at waypoints on the procedure the system
automatically loads the altitude constraints on the
active flight plan. The system will not load any except
to cross altitudes on the Active Flight Plan page.
NOTE
The system will not fly a full SID or STAR
procedure.
(a) Reviewing
VNAV
Database
Waypoints Using Active Flight Plan Page.
1. FPL key Press to display the
Active Flight Plan page.
