Airport waypoints are the geographic reference point for the airport.
Airways contained in the database include all waypoints (some are
unnamed) and only waypoints defining the airway. Some of these
defining waypoints do not show on paper charts. Some waypoints on
the charts appear to be on an airway, but are not defining waypoints for
the airway.
Custom Database
The custom database consists of pilot--defined waypoints and stored
flight plans. Up to 1000 pilot--defined waypoints are permitted to be
stored.
The pilot stores commonly flown routes using the pilot--defined flight
plan procedure. The pilot activates a flight plan from the FMS custom
database rather than repeat the flight plan entry procedure. The FMS
custom database retains up to 3000 flight plans with a total of 45,000
waypoints (whichever comes first). Each flight plan contains a
maximum of 200 waypoints when enabled by the aircraft personality
module (APM). When not enabled by the APM, each flight plan contains
a maximum of 100 waypoints.
Temporary Waypoints
Pilot defined waypoints are given a name and permanently stored in the
custom database. The pilot defines temporary waypoints. Temporary
waypoints are not given a permanent name and are not permanently
stored in the custom database.
