MCDU Programming Question

Featured Replies

When programming the MCDU I:

 

1. Enter my first waypoint

2. Select that waypoint

3. Select Airways

4. Enter my first airway

5. Enter my next airway and the one after that until the page is full (I'm at LSK 5L)

 

My question is, is there a way to keep adding airways? Right now I enter my end waypoint for the last airway, use Insert to place all of this into the flight plan, scroll to the last waypoint, than select it, wash-rinse-repeat till I finish entering my flight plan.

 

So, is there a way to continue entering airways; scroll down or next page or whatever?

Good to hear, thank you very much. It makes sense from a safety standpoint. After you have programmed them in it would be best to use plan mode and review the flight path as you scroll down to start the next set of entries. I do not know if that is how it is done or why it was implemented this way; however, it would make the most sense. Of course the flight plan should be reviewed all entries are completed but this would be an additional layer to catch mistakes quickly.

For the record I asked Ryan and sure enough, only 5 airway entries than you have to insert, scroll to last waypoint, select that waypoint, and continue entering airways.
