PROGRAM MING
SECTION 9
SUPPLEMENT 3
Pertinent information (waypoint number, station frequency, waypoint
radial, and waypoint distance) for up to nine waypoints is entered into the
memory. Programming may be completed prior to takeoff or during the
flight. Any combination of navigational facilities (RNAV waypoint,
VOR/ DME. lLS) may be loaded into the computer; however. it is desirable
that each facility be numbered and loaded into the computer in the sequence
it will be used.
(a) RNAV WAYPOlNTS
(I) Turn the system on by rotating the ON/ OFF switch clockwise.
(2) Put waypoint I in the WPT window by turning the WPT knob.
Turn the knob in either direction to get •• 1 ".
(3) Select the waypoint I frequency using the data input controls.
(4) Select the waypoint I radial by depressing the DAT A button.
This will move the
><
(caret) from FRQ to RAD. Select
the new radial with the data input controls.
(5) Select the waypoint I distance by again depressing the DATA
button. This will move the
:>
<
from RAD to DST. Select
the new distance with the data input controls.
(6) This completes the programming for the first waypoint. Follow
these procedures for all selected waypoints up to a maximum
of nine.
(b) CONVENTIONAL VOR
( 1) The programming technique for conventional navigation
directly toward or away from a _YOR facility without a
colocated DME is similar to that for RNA V waypoints.
Inputting the waypoint number and frequency into the
memory is accomplished in the same manner. The RAD and
DST displays will display dashes during VOR and VOR
PAR operation.
(c) ILS APPROACH (Front course and Back course)
( I) Programming an ILS approach is accomplished in the same
manner as programming conventional VOR.
(d) MISSED APPROACH
(I) If the published missed approach utilizes an RNAV waypoint
or VOR facility, it may be entered into the memory any time
prior to the approach. This is accomplished in the same
manner set forth in CONVENTIONAL VOR and RNA V
WAYPOINTS in this section.
