Flight Management System (FMS) for the Agusta AW139/AB139 Helicopter
— The direct--to function also adds or deletes waypoints. After
selecting direct--to, line selecting a waypoint deletes all the
waypoints before the selected waypoint. The selected waypoint
then becomes the TO waypoint. A waypoint in the alternate flight
plan is permitted to be selected from the primary flight plan.
When this is done, all the waypoints including the original
destination are deleted and the waypoint in the alternate flight
plan becomes the TO waypoint. A waypoint is permitted to be
entered into the scratchpad and line selected to the prompt. This
makes the added waypoint the TO waypoint. The direct--to
RECOVERY function can also be used.
— Using the INTERCEPT function adds an intercept waypoint. No
waypoints are deleted with the INTERCEPT function. When the
pilot inserts an intercept waypoint in the flight plan and changes
to another page before the definition is completed, the entire
operation is canceled.
VNAV OFFSET -- ATC often issues a clearance consisting of
D
crossing a specified distance before or after a waypoint, at a specific
altitude. The FMS is capable of creating a temporary waypoint in the
form of a *PDXX for these types of clearances. Refer to
Procedure 7--1 for details.
Step
Procedure 7- -1 VNAV Offset Definition
1
Define a PLACE. Use the keyboard or line select the place
from the flight plan to the scratchpad.
2
Enter a slash (/) to indicate the next entry is a bearing.
When known, enter the bearing. When the bearing is not
known, enter another slash (/) to indicate the next entry is
a distance.
3
Enter the distance to cross from the place. When DRK is
the place, the entry is DRK//20.
4
Enter this information into the flight plan either at or after
the place (DRK). The FMS automatically places the
waypoint on the flight plan at the specified distance.
5
Enter the altitude constraint.
