It then turned right, flew the arc, turned left and intercepted the the LOC and GS and made an autoland. I typed a detailed explanation several hours ago but it went into thin air when I was trying to get the image under 200 KB and posted. If you have any questions, just post them. Michael Cubine Beautiful looking DME Arc Michael. I am currently making one myself. One question : Because I 2 times made a new start with the arc the FMC adds to earlier used points, even when they are not needed anymore. Eg : I start with MON01 at 0 degrees , but found out that it had to start more to the right ( 012 degrees ) When starting agin it show MON02 instead of MON1. Is there a way I can delete the former points, so is tarts again with MON01 ?

I don't think there ia anyway to get rid of MON01 name and start again. Sometimes when I have been adding a waypoint for one reason or another and the first three were incorrect, the correct one would be named DHP04. MON01 and DHP01, DHP02, and DHP03 will have no effect on your or my route.

I started off with 010 degrees and decreased by 10 degress per waypoint. I think that at 13 miles or 20 miles which I used for the arc the decrease should be 5 degrees per waypoint for a smoother arc. At 10 degrees the plane was turning left, wings level, turning left, wings level as it went around the arc.
