Which waypoints are eligible for entry using speech depends on the
active flightplan. If the flightplan is empty all waypoints within 250
nautical miles of the aircraft's current location can be entered. If the
flightplan contains one or more waypoints then all waypoints within
250 nautical miles of the last waypoint in the flightplan can be entered.
Since the recognition radius moves each time a waypoint is entered,
long cross-country flightplans can be entered, so long as each leg is
less than 250 nautical miles in length.
5.6 Error Correction
In the event a waypoint is incorrectly recognized, or if a mistake is
made in waypoint entry, the command “ERASE WAYPOINT” may be
used to erase the last en-route waypoint in the active flightplan. The
following diagram illustrates the process of erasing a waypoint:
Note:
“ERASE WAYPOINT” will not erase a waypoint which is part
of the active navigation leg. Attempting to do so will result in an error.
If a waypoint other than the last en-route waypoint in the flightplan
must be erased, then see Section 5.9 of this guide.
5.7 Starting a new Flightplan
To erase the entire contents of the active flightplan:
1. Depress and hold the VAS.
2. Say the words “START NEW FLIGHTPLAN”.
3. An audio message will be played: “Confirm Start New Flight
Plan”.
4. Double Click the VAS to confirm the command.
5. Verify that the contents of the active flightplan have been
erased.
6. Release the VAS, or begin entering waypoints into the now-
empty flightplan.
Note:
“START NEW FLIGHTPLAN” will also erase any departure or
arrival procedures present in the flightplan.
