Waypoints format for flightplan

Recommended Posts

Hi

When making a flightplan I rather often need a geographic navigation fix which is not in the data base (Updated NAVIGRAPH).

The updated FMC USER'S MANUAL for PMDG 737NG - AOM page 30 Revision - 1.4 2APR04 and page 31 Revision - 1.4 23APR04 show three methods to fix the problem

  1. Place bearing/ Distance
  2. Latitude/Longitude
  3. Place bearing/Place bearing

I generally fly the 737-800 version 1.1, and need unknown fixes.

For DME approaches, for instance, I use the # 1 method which is easy and works fine.

But when there is a succession of unknown waypoints (4, 5, 6 ...) for instance, method # 1 don't work, and method # 2 would be the best. Unfortunately, neither the format proposed, nor variations are accepted by the FMC, nor method # 3

Which are the correct formats for # 2 and # 3 methods?
