Entering Oceanic Waypoints in A330/340 FMGS

[Guest dennis747]

Hi, Just tried to set up a flight in the A340 HKG/YVR and I had a problem entering the Lat./Long. waypoints over the Pacific.This is part of the flightplan: ...CALMA G344 CARTO R336 ADK 53N170W 54N160W 54N150W 52N140W...After ADK I tried to enter the 53N170W point using the formats given in the manual but the distance between ADK and 53N170W is 4506 NM!! I am sure I have entered it incorrectly. Can anyone tell me exactly how I should enter these Oceanic Waypoints in the FMGS? Many Thanks!!Dennis

Hello Dennis.Found your post after a search. I'm looking to do the same thing, but EGPF/BIKF.I looked at the reply from Phoenix, but found the reply had been removed by the Moderator.Can you tell me what was the eventual outcome, and was it successful.The Co-ordinates I need are N61 W12.34Best RgdsPaul
