May 24, 201412 yr I know it's tricky for ERJ(145 ect..) to change the center waypoint for PLAN mode on MFD, to check the whole flightplan(especially to check the approche procedure), while it still could be done. But for the E-Jets(170 ect..) after trying and scaning in both Wilco and Real manual. I couldn't find any way to do that. Any ideas?
June 12, 201411 yr I can confirm this can be done, because I've done it accidentally and had the aircraft on the mfd displaying on the next wpt, not the current position and I'll be danged if I can figure out how to get it to step forward and back. In the E170/190 there's a big round knob bottom right on the fmc that does it, not the same for the E135/145. This is irritating, as you say you can't review your procedures or flight path beyond moving the range in and out. I'll keep searching and post back if I find anything, let me know if you find anything. Thanks Joe Connolly KSTL Joe Connolly
June 12, 201411 yr Ok, this was really pissing me off and I finally found it. Here's a little video... https://www.dropbox.com/s/8b7sj9g06pecvb4/e135%20fms%20step%20Video_2014-06-12_034019.wmv It's dropbox so you can either play it from the page in your browser or download and play on your windows media player, it looks better playing on media player though.

June 13, 201411 yr Author Ok, this was really pissing me off and I finally found it. Here's a little video... KSTL Thanks for your reply, but isn't it a E135\145? I do know how to do this for them, I'm asking about E170\190. I'm struggling reading real E170 AOM and FCOM.I mean, my drowsiness. Theses PDFs really make me missing Boeing's CBT program
June 15, 201411 yr The E170/190 has a round knob on the right side of the fmc just above the keypad. It can be in map mode or plan mode and when you rotate the knob it steps the waypoints. Joe Connolly
