SECTION 6

PROCEDURES

Course from fix to manual sequence legs appear on the Active Flight Plan Page and the Map Page with ‘man seq’ in place of a waypoint identifier. An example of this type of course leg appears in the COASTAL ONE DEPARTURE from Westfield, Massachusetts (Barnes Muni). The example leg corresponds to the departure leg from Barnes Municipal and appears (as in Figure 6-68) on the Active Flight Plan Page and the Default NAV Page:

Refer to Figure 6-57 for the following steps.

1)

Select the departure (CSTL1) from the

 

Procedures Page, then select the departure

 

runway, (RW02 in this example) and transition

 

(GEDIC). Refer to Section 6.1 for instructions

 

on selecting departures.

2)

When departing the airfield, ‘NEXT DTK 026°’

 

appears along the bottom of the screen and

 

‘SUSP’ appears directly above the OBS Key,

COASTAL ONE DEPARTURE (CSTL1.CCC)

DEPARTING BARNES MUNI,

Fly assigned heading and altitude

for radar vectors to HFD

 

VOR. Expect clearance to

 

requested flight level 10

 

minutes after departure. From

 

over HFD VOR, proceed via the HFD R-143 to

 

Thumb Int,

 

then via the HTO R-010 to

 

Yoder Int, then via the CCC

 

R-057 to CCC VOR.

 

Then via transition

 

or assigned

 

route.

 

which indicates the aircraft is now on the

‘course from fix to manual sequence’ leg. The

distance displayed on the Active Flight Plan

Page, the Default NAV Page (Figure 6-58), and

the Map Page is FROM the waypoint fix (the

departure runway in this example).

3)Fly the outbound course. When cleared to sequence to the next leg, press the OBS Key. Confirm that ‘SUSP’ no longer appears directly above the OBS Key. An alert (‘NEXT DTK 185°’) appears along the bottom of the screen (Figure 6-59) to provide guidance to the next waypoint (HFD VOR). The actual desired track (DTK) depends on ground speed and distance from HFD VOR.
