How do we reset the FMC on the ground?

[Guest VCSIGDA]

Hi Guys,Sorry for the double post on this issue, but I was also wondering how do I reset the FMC after I have landed at my destination (proper procedure). I want to keep the power running and do not want to start from a cold and dark startup, if possible. What I want to do is land at the airport, then taxi to the gate, keep lights on and APU running while letting the passengers off and refueling, and then reset the FMC to the new route. I want to stay at the destination airport for about 35 min.Thanks in advance for the great support in this forum,CYQRVincent

Better question would be just how are you trying to reset the FMC? I just landed at KLAX, *END OF ROUTE* shown on the CDU and I put KLAX into ORIGIN and KSJC into DES and worked for me...[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.

On the Route first page, push 'Del' and then push the L1 line select to delete the departure airport. This then clears everything ready for re-setup.Geoffrey BaleanCanberra, AU (YSCB)http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg"Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesturday.
