USER WAYPOINT IDENTIFIER
User waypoints are helpful when ATC requests that you fly one radial to intercept
another. While the point is often defined by an intersection in the navigation
database, this is not always the case. The Create User Waypoint function allows
you to define the new intersection and insert it into the flight plan in advance, as
opposed to using the NAV radio to tune each VOR and specify the radials to fly
inbound and outbound.
Create and store up to 1,000 user defined waypoints.
Access this page from one of two places:
•
Waypoint Info page
•
Map page
Tapping any location on the map that is not a existing
waypoint displays the Create Waypoint access key.
Assign a unique identifier or keep the unit generated
identifier. By default, the identifier format is “USR”
followed by a sequential three digit number.
