NOTE
An offset waypoint (#OFF*) can be input
with a radial based on the LAST TK value
and distance calculated from the LAST GS
value as well as the time elapsed from
power off, provided significant changes to
aircraft track or groundspeed have not
been made. If the aircraft has turned or if
the speed has changed, the pilot should
estimate the track and distance traveled
since loss of power.

(Personalized) Waypoints. A personalized waypoint
may be created by entering a non-ICAO waypoint
identifier and inserting the desired position coordinates
on the Waypoint page.
The CDU has nonvolatile storage for up to 999
waypoints that are retained in memory only if entered
on a stored flight plan. The ICAO identifiers stored in
the database cannot be used for personalized
waypoints.
Select the desired flight plan and position the
cursor over the desired field. If necessary, refer to the
procedure for creating a flight plan or modifying a flight
plan.
