When a waypoint is inserted before HEND, when
HEND is on the last line, the Flight Plan page
automatically scrolls as necessary to keep the HEND
indicator in view on the bottom line. This permits the
pilot to enter a long sequence of points without having
to manually scroll the page. The FPLN FULL
message will appear in the scratchpad if there is an
attempt to load a 61st waypoint.
(c) Inserting and Deleting Intermediate
Waypoints. In most cases the waypoints may be
inserted or deleted between any two waypoints in the
flight plan. When waypoints are inserted, succeeding
waypoints are automatically moved down the list.
Upon insertion, the new waypoints assume the
number of the immediately preceding waypoint and
adds an alphabetical suffix (e.g. 03A, 03B, etc).
Exception to this would be when a waypoint is inserted
between waypoints that already have an alphabetical
suffix, the next character in sequence would be used
as the next suffix. If lettering goes as high as Z and
there is an attempt to insert another waypoint, the
RENUMBER FPLN scratchpad message will occur.
When the waypoints are deleted, the flight plan
automatically eliminates all holes by moving waypoints
up the list as required. The waypoint numbers being
out of the normal sequence can identify deleted
waypoints.
There are three exceptions to the above
waypoint statements as follows. Refer to Figure 3B-28
and Table 3B -19.
1. Inserting a new FROM waypoint:
Instead of waypoints moving down
the list when inserting a new
FROM
waypoint,
the
current
FROM waypoint moves up the list.
An alphabetical suffix is added
based on the preceding waypoint,
which was the former
FROM
waypoint.
2. No waypoints can be inserted
between
any
two-history
waypoints.
3. The
last
history
waypoint
(waypoint 00) cannot be deleted.
Sixty waypoints is the maximum number of
waypoints allowed in the active flight plan. The FPLN
FULL message will appear in the scratchpad if an
insertion of a 61st waypoint is attempted.
(d) Renumbering Flight Plan Waypoints.
After inserting or deleting waypoints, there becomes a
requirement to renumber the flight plan to remove
waypoints with alphabetical suffixes, perform the
following procedures. First access the Flight Plan Edit
2 page and then select the RENUMBER line select
key (requires confirmation). This causes all future
flight plan waypoints to be renumbered in sequence
without alphabetic suffixes, starting at the active
waypoint number. The active waypoint and the history
waypoints are not renumbered.
