SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcut for entering waypoint identifiers.
When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of a waypoint identifier, turning the small FMS Knob counter-
clockwise accesses five different lists of waypoint identifiers for quick selection: flight plan (FPL), nearest
(NRST), recently-entered (RECENT), user (USER), and airway (AIRWAY)(AIRWAY available when active leg is
part of an airway). The G900X automatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information
for the selected waypoint.
Using the Control Unit keypad to enter data:
1) Choose the desired display control mode by pressing the PFD or MFD Key on the Control Unit (GCU 476 only).
2) If needed, press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
3) Use the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired field.
4) Use the alphanumeric keys to enter the desired information.
5) Press the ENT Key to confirm the entry
6) Press the CLR Key to cancel data entry (the field revers back to its previous information).
Using the FMS Knob to enter data:
1) If needed, press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.
2) Use the large FMS Knob to highlight the desired field.
3) Begin entering data.
a) To quickly enter a waypoint identifier, turn the small FMS Knob counter-clockwise to display a list of waypoints
