Position Initialization - Honeywell FMZ Series Pilot's Manual

Flight Management System (FMS) for the Agusta AW139/AB139 Helicopter

POSITION INITIALIZATION

The POSITION INIT 1/1 page, shown in Figure 6--143, is used to
initialize FMS position. This page is accessed from the NAV IDENT
page or from the NAV INDEX page. When operating in DUAL, a position
loaded on one FMS is transmitted to the other FMS so both are
initialized to the same position.
1L and 1R -- The last FMS position is displayed when the aircraft is
D
on the ground. When the line select key adjacent to the LOAD
prompt (1R) is pushed, the FMS is initialized to that position. After
loading a position, the prompt FLT PLAN is displayed at 6R for
access to the flight planning function.
2L and 2R -- The reference waypoint (REF WPT) line is below the
D
last FMS position. This line is filled automatically by the FMS or the
pilot can make an entry at any time. In order of priority, the FMS fills
in this line as follows:
— RUNWAY THRESHOLD -- When a departure runway has been
selected in the active flight plan, the coordinates of the runway
threshold are displayed. Using this feature, the runway position
is updated when the aircraft is at the end of the runway ready for
takeoff.
