Flight Management System (FMS) for the Agusta AW139/AB139 Helicopter
The MOTxx waypoint is designated in the flight plan and on the MFD
with the symbol MOTxx with x as a sequential number assigned by the
FMS for the current flight (1--9) and x as MOT number (A--Z). For
example, MOT1A is displayed at 5L in Figure 6--128. MOT1A indicates
the flight number is 1 (out of 1--9) and the MOT waypoint is labeled A
(out of A--Z). The next MOTxx waypoint for the current flight would be
MOT1B. During the next flight, the next MOTxx waypoint would start
with MOT2A and so on. The MOTxx waypoint remains displayed at all
times when the current MOTxx flight plan is active.
Lateral -- The FMS locates the MOTxx waypoint at the aircraft
D
position (latitude and longitude) when the MOT button is pushed on
the guidance controller.
Vertical -- The MOTxx waypoint is at an altitude of 50 ft AGL based
D
on RAD ALT.
MCDU Speed/Altitude Display -- The predicted CAS speed and
D
altitude values associated with 0 kts GS and 50 ft AGL are displayed
on the MCDU next to the MOTxx waypoint.
DISCONTINUITY
A DISCONTINUITY is inserted after the MOTxx waypoint and before
the SUSxx waypoint in the active flight plan. When the MOT flight plan
is activated, the DISCONTINUITY is placed in front of the previously
active flight plan.
SUSPEND
When a MOT flight plan is activated, a SUSxx waypoint is placed after
the last DISCONTINUITY in the MOT flight plan. The remaining flight
plan continues after the SUSxx waypoint.
The SUSxx waypoint is placed in the MOT flight plan in one of the
following ways:
When the SUSPEND function is not previously activated, a SUSxx
D
waypoint is added after the last DISCONTINUITY in the MOT flight
plan.
When the SUSPEND function is previously activated, the existing
D
SUSxx waypoint is retained and placed after the last
DISCONTINUITY in the MOT flight plan.
The SUSPEND waypoint is located on the currently active leg in the
active flight plan.
