Hi,I am used to flying Boeings and I am just trying out a few Airbus flights but I am having trouble working out how to enter a FIX. When using Radar Contact I always enter a 45nm FIX from the destination airport so I can meet the crossing restrictions. I do this in a Boeing by entering a 45nm FIX on the airport then entering a new waypoint a certain distance from the last waypoint before the FIX. How do I do this in the PSS A330/340?Thanks for any help.Andy S
