FIX Page - copying the fix data to scratchpad?

Featured Replies

I'm looking at page 11.42.35 (PDF Page1039) of the FCOMv2.

 

"Pushing the line select key for one of the BRG/DIS entries copies the fix place/bearing/distance definition into the scratchpad"

 

However I can't actually make that happen. Nothing gets copied to the scratchpad.

 

Any ideas? I see a reference to the fix page on the bug tracker but I dont think this is the same thing.

you can only line select the BRG/DIS that you entered on the LEFT side of the fix page, not the right side.

Which is what I'm trying to do.

If it's a genuine bug, and it sounds like it might be, raise a support ticket detailing the problem and a reference to a page in the manual. It'll get fixed.

Works fine here. You have to first enter a Bearing/Radiall or a DME distance, on for instance LSK 1L

The FMC then draws a line or circle.

IF this line or circle intersects your route of flight anywhere, THEN you can downselect the coordinates of this point in the scratchpad.

Oh and bearing+dme distance can not be downselected from the FIX page because it is already a point.

You can enter that directly in the legs page.

 

Like JFK090/5.....that is a point (not a line or circle).
