USER WAYPOINT IDENTIFIER
User waypoints are helpful when ATC requests that you fly one radial to intercept
another. While the point is often defined by an intersection in the navigation
database, this is not always the case. The Create User Waypoint function allows
you to define the new intersection and insert it into the flight plan in advance, as
opposed to using the NAV radio to tune each VOR and specify the radials to fly
inbound and outbound.
