Inputting Oceanic Points

Featured Replies

Hi guys,I am normally pretty good with inputting oceanic nat tracks etc into an FMC, however I struggle when these sorts of points come into play ' 4200N 06000W 4400N 05000W 4600N 04000W'. My question is how do you put the '04000W' into the FMC, I can put 4600N in but my FPL will repeat maybe the same point 3 times but with different west points. Here's my flight plan so you can see what I mean. I'm flying from JFK to BCN in the leveld 767.BETTE3 BETTE ACK DOVEY 4200N 06000W 4400N 05000W 4600N 04000W 4600N 03000W 4600N 02000W 4600N 01500W BEGAS UP177 XUSAN UP177 VES UM190 XARIS UM190 BLV UM601 RONKO UM601 SURCO UM601 GRAUS

You don't!What you put in is: "4600N 04000W", i.e. 46º 00' N 40º 00' W.Although the list seems to list individual points, they're not: They come in pairs.Cheers,- jahman.
