Title: Recreating flightaware plans for the CS 757
Post by rservice on Aug 20th, 2012 at 12:52pm
I want to create a flightplan from Flight  aware,i.e. Newark to Frankfurt.
They have what I assume are lat,long waypoints like 4900N 05000W.
How should they be entered in the FMC? Any suggestions appreciated.
Ron

‘757 Captain’ FLIGHT MANUAL Part V – Flight Management System (cs757_manual5.pdf) page 17:

MANUALLY ENTERED LATITUDE/ LONGITUDE WAYPOINTS

Pilot defined waypoints entered as a latitude and longitude are shown in a seven-character format. Latitude
and longitude waypoints are entered with no space or slash between the latitude and longitude entries.
Leading zeroes must be entered. All digits and decimal points (to 1/10 minute) must be entered unless the
latitude or longitude are full degrees. Examples:

· N47° W008° is entered as N47W008 and displays as N47W008
· N47° 15.4' W008° 3.4' is entered as N4715.4W00803.4 and displays as N47W008.

Hope this helps. ;)

Thanks Markoz.I found out how to do it by experimenting.I'm now experimenting with favourable jet stream winds,which I gather are required in order not to run out of fuel enroute.
Ron :D :D
