Entering destinations not co-located with an Airway does not bring up Load Airway

Option Menu item

Flight Planning Victor Airways 4

At least one point on an airway must identified before Load Airway becomes available

Flight Planning Victor Airways 5

Because the only Airway associated with NODME is

V611 it was entered automatically and EXIT

points were then displayed

Note that both waypoints ahead and behind NODME are displayed… why?

Flight Planning Victor Airways 6

Select appropriate EXIT to completes the task for that leg. Note distances

and track between interim waypoints

Flight Planning Victor Airways 7

Current waypoint sequence is

displayed and the prompt LOAD?

Flight Planning Victor Airways 8

The current route segment is now

displayed in the Flight Plan. But there is a

problem.

Flight Planning Victor Airways 9

There are several ways to avoid the high altitude routing

between SAF and FTI

Select FTI and Load Airways to show all

routes from SAF to FTI. Highlighting with the outer

FMS knob reveals the routes of each

Flight Planning Victor Airways 10

Select V62 and note that it displays to the first

intersection ECISA that leads to FTI

Flight Planning Victor Airways 11

As soon as ECISA is selected the next route

waypoint RENCO displayed and LOADED

Flight Planning Victor Airways 12

TAFOY is LOADED in a similar manner and then the

FTI VORTAC

The Flight Plan routing is now complete

Flight Planning Victor Airways 19

Selecting the appropriate EXIT

completes the task for that leg

Flight Planning Victor Airways 20

If an intersection is defined as an ENTRY then a list of all intersections and VORs

along that Airway are presented as possible EXITs

intersections

Flight Planning Victor Airways 22

Typical clearances will often provide “radar

vectors” to intercept V611 with no need to fly to ABQ.

Flight Planning Victor Airways 23

When this happens, fly the vector until intercepting the desired track (V611) then

select the next Waypoint and on the FP and press the

DIRECT button

Flight Planning Victor Airways 24

You will be queried for ACTIVATE? and will press ENT. This will cause

the current segment from the aircraft’s present position to the select waypoint to be highlighted
