I have noticed something in the FMC that I don

You typically see this with a departure in which you must fly some preassigned heading (usually different from the runway heading) after takeoff out to a certain radial distance from a VOR, at which point you turn (or receive ATC vectors) to join the SID.Usually, I fly these first segments of a departure by hand. However, the above (DME) waypoint exists so that you *could* fly the departure entirely using LNAV from the moment your wheels leave the ground and you engage the A/P.To delete it, line select the second way point (DF163) and then press LSK 1L to insert it as the new first waypoint in the departure.Cheers,J

Hi JThanks for the explanation and how to remove it. Graham
