October 13, 200322 yr I noticed that on most STARs the FMC is pre-programed for the altitude restriction at a certain waypoint on the STAR. ex: FMC is programed for the TOPIC3 arrival. The TOPIC3 has 2 altitude restrictions. The first at DAVEL to cross at 12000 and the second at INTRO to cross at 7000. The FMC has noticed the DAVEL crossing restriction and has that programed into the FMC automatically but the INTRO crossing restriction is nowhere to be found. So my question is: Can you program the FMC with another crossing restriction for another waypoint on a particular STAR? In this situation could I program the FMC to cross INTRO at 5000 even though the FMC is not recognizing the INTRO intersection to have a crossing restriction?Thanks for your time,
October 13, 200322 yr Yes sir, you can. Just enter the restriction in the scratchpad just as you would any other waypoint, ie xxx/xxxxx. If you want to just enter the alt restiction, just enter /xxxxx.
