Adding an airway to a flight plan:
1) Press the FPL Key.
2) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor (not required on the PFD).
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the waypoint after the desired airway entry point. If this waypoint is not
a valid airway entry point, a valid entry point should be entered at this time.
4) Turn the small FMS Knob one click clockwise and select the LD AIRWY Softkey on the MFD, or press the MENU
Key and select "Load Airway" on the PFD. The Select Airway Page is displayed. The LD AIRWY Softkey or the
"Load Airway" menu item is available only when a valid airway entry waypoint has been chosen (the waypoint
ahead of the cursor position).
5) Turn the FMS Knob to select the desired airway from the list, and press the ENT Key. Low altitude airways are
shown first in the list, followed by "all" altitude airways, and then high altitude airways.
6) Turn the FMS Knob to select the desired airway exit point from the list, and press the ENT Key. 'Load?' is
highlighted.
7) Press the ENT Key. The system returns to editing the flight plan with the new airway inserted.

RESTRICTIONS ON ADDING AIRWAYS
Some airways have directional restrictions on all or part of the route. Airway "A2" in Europe has a directional
restriction over the whole route such that it can be flown only one direction. For example, airway "UR975" in
North Africa has more complicated directional restrictions within the list of airway waypoints. That is, each
waypoint may have its own conditional route in relation to another waypoint.
In the US, airways that are "one-way" for specified hours of operation are not uncommon. These airways
are always bidirectional in the system database.
The system only allows correct airway sequences to be inserted. If the pilot subsequently inverts the flight
plan, the system inverts the airway waypoint sequence and removes the airway header.
