Temporary Waypoints
-- Temporary waypoints exist only in the
active flight plan. Temporary waypoints are erased when the flight
plan is completed or deleted. Temporary waypoints are listed on the
last WAYPOINT LIST pages at the time of definition. Using this
page, the pilot reviews the definition of the waypoint.
Temporary waypoints are used so the pilot can quickly enter the
waypoint definition directly into the active flight plan. Temporary
waypoints are useful when cleared to a fix. In this case, temporary
waypoints have no meaning beyond the current flight. There is no
need to create a named waypoint for the clearance fix.
Temporary waypoints are defined by entering the definition of the
waypoint directly into the active flight plan. Acceptable definitions
are latitude/longitude, place/bearing /distance, place/bearing/place/
bearing, and along the flight plan as place//distance. When the
definition is entered in the flight plan, the waypoint is assigned a
name describing how the waypoint was defined and a number (XX).
Temporary waypoints entered on the left FMS are assigned odd
numbers while those entered on the right FMS are assigned even
numbers. The name is also preceded by an asterisk (*) to indicate
a temporary waypoint. The assigned names are as follows:
Entered Definition
Waypoint Name
Lat/Long
Place/Bearing/Distance
Place/Bearing/Place/Bearing
Place//Distance
*LLXX
*PBDXX
*RRXX
*PDXX
The definition is entered into the scratchpad from the keyboard or
retrieved for other sources. The electronic flight instrument system
(EFIS) joystick is used to insert coordinates into the scratchpad. The
CROSSING POINTS pages are also sources for definition. As the
name indicates, temporary waypoints are not retained in the FMS
past the current flight.
