Im just wondering how you enter the "03000W " values into the FMC. Thanks!Hi try this. 5600N 05000W can turn into 5650N. So then your next one would be 5740N and so on, that's exactly how you type it in the fms. How that helps Lee

March 23, 201214 yr You would drop the first one so it would be 5310N or 53N10 ( which is another way to put it) I found this little bit on the net. N50° W040° becomes 5040N.N75° W170° becomes 75N70.N50° E020° becomes 5020E.N06° E110° becomes 06E10.S52° W075° becomes 5275W.S07° W120° becomes 07W20.S50° E020° becomes 5020S.S06° E110° becomes 06S10.See the first one is the way I told you that's the way to do it when it's W070 or E020 or W070. Also notice the letter at the end changes depending on what your using. For the easts wests and Souths it might be easier just to do it this way. N06° E110° becomes 06E10. It becomes easier with time. I like it with the letter at the end. I can do it either way now. Ask me if you have any other questions. Or if this wasn't clear enough. :)Lee
