Thanks for any help. Chris.
August 1, 200619 yr ChrisDo a search on the subject of FMC Lat Lon inputs. There are several posts addressing the subject. I can't remember exactly but I think the format is N52W47 or 52N47W. Hope this helps you
August 1, 200619 yr Thanks larry, i'm in the process of trying a search but not having much luck or understanding, is there some kind of converter ?, by the way i'm pretty new to all this. cheers Chris.

August 2, 200619 yr Chris,Don't know what you mean by "converter". Go to search and use the keywords fmc,lat,lon,coordinates. you should get several hits. I know there are threads talking about entering lat,lon in the fmc.
August 2, 200619 yr Chris,In the B737 manual the format is:NXXXXXEXXXXXX or SXXXXXWXXXXXXFor example N39*8.00W76*35.00 would be entered as follows:N39080W076250I hope that helps.NeilYPAD http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpgNeil Bradley
August 2, 200619 yr Thanks Neil, i think i've managed it now, i was trying to input the seconds aswell, which i don't think you can so when just sticking to degrees and minutes it worked fine. Thanks All for your help. Chris.
