WAYPOINT IDENTIFIERS, Reporting Positions Defined by Coordinates.Įntry/Exit positions to Oceanic Control Areas are often defined by waypoints which are “undesignated”, made available in source documentation as geographical coordinates (Latitude/ Longitude) expressed in full degrees. If you read the section on LNAV it also expains short code, long code, PBD ect.ect. N47° W008° is entered as N47W008 and displays as N47W008.All digits and decimal points (to 1/10 minute) must be entered unless the latitude or longitude are full degrees. Latitude and longitude waypoints are entered with no space or slash between the latitude and longitude entries. Pilot defined waypoints entered as a latitude and longitude display in a seven–character format. Lat = 90 deg South to 90 deg North, and Lon = 180 deg W to 180 deg E.Ĭheck out the 777 Operations Manual.pdf in your DOC’s folder, section 11.31.16 (766) on Manually Entered Latitude/ Longitude Waypoints. There is a difference between entering a ‘named FIX’ and entering a Lat/Lon as a Fix, the ‘named FIX’ must be listed in the database the aircraft is using, where as a Lat/Lon can be any valid position on the Earth eg. I assume you were trying to enter " named Oceanic Fixes " : LILNO -> SOMAX -> N4920 ?
