The FMC will be able to tell you its last known position. Some airports (usually those in Europe) will also have the gate Lat/Lon near the gate sign. Finally, Jepp charts (you have to pay for these) usually have a gate chart with that information. Kyle Rodgers

Yes,as I mentionned I do have the coordinates but I want to learn how to enter them into the IRS. HubertWerni Herbert Werni

October 28, 201510 yr Commercial Member Yes,as I mentionned I do have the coordinates but I want to learn how to enter them into the IRS. Type in the Airport into the REF AIRPORT. Click on the line select key next to the position. That will copy the position into the scratchpad. Note the format :wink: Kyle Rodgers
October 28, 201510 yr Author Read the Flight Crew Operations Manual (FCOM), Supplementary Procedures - IRS Entries 11.4 (SP 11.4). Thank you. If it is not too much asking: Did you mean FCom1 or FCom2 as there is no such thing as just FCom Herbert Werni
October 28, 201510 yr I think it's in volume 1 (FCOMv1). The document is usually one whole document but some, like PMDG, split it into two volumes. Volume 1 contains the procedures for airplane operation, and volume 2 has the systems description and operation. Brian Nellis
October 28, 201510 yr Note that the Table of Contents for the entire FCOM is at the beginning of FCOMv1... this saves much time when looking for something that the quick Ctrl+F doesn't yield. Dan Downs KCRP
