March 12, 200422 yr I am having trouble entering waypoints on the FMC. I have updated the nav database as well as the SID/STARs database. In the FMC on the RTE page I enter ORIGIN "KATL" and DEST "KPHL" and then next page to 2/2 of the RTE page. Here in the scratchpad I try to enter my first waypoint "CONLY" in which I get the error "NOT IN DATABASE" at the bottom of the screen. I tried to enter other waypoints to see if they would be in there and get the same error. Why can I not enter the 10 waypoints I want between KATL and KPHL? I have printed and read the FMC docs but they still do not help me. The aircraft is pretty much useless to me if I cannot program the FMC.Thanks In Advance,Kevin D Wycha
March 12, 200422 yr You can check whether CONLY is in your database by going from MENU > FMC > IDENT > INDEX > NAV DATA Put CONLY in scratchpad and enter in WPT IDENT. Its there in mine (0311).If you follow the Tim Metzinger tutorial exactly it works for me. Ensure you use the right hand side (LSK1R) to enter the wpt reference.Hope this gets you going.David.
