How do you clear the FMC?

[rhodges 6]

For the new 777's, once a flightplan is entered or originated and activated in the FMC, how do you clear it so that you can change it? If there is a way to clear it and start over I am overlooking it in the manual and unable by trial and error to get rid of the current plan.Thanks:RTH

There is a way which happened to me by accident on the first flight after the tutorial (half way through the flight!). Never since though.Andrew BrownACPChttp://www.gordiusfs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/

The way I clear the flightplan is by re-entering the start location on the RTE page of the FMC.I discovered this after I had spent about 20 mins manually entering a very long and complicated flightplan and then I decided to play around with the FMC (without saving the flightplan of course) Oh how I laughed when I saw the whole flightplan vanish!Hope this helpsPhil

Hi Rhodges,The way Phil clears the CDU, entering on the RTE-page a new Origin and Dest, works.When you have saved plans in FS you can use the Route Request option again.Succes,Remy
