FMC distance/bearing way point


Recommended Posts

I'm looking at entering a distance/bearing waypoint in my route.

In this case, BLD125030 - so bearing 125 from BLD at 30 nm.

How do I enter that in the CDU when I build my plan?  I can't seem to get it to accept that, and I can't find the reference manual for the FMC that goes over that.

The usual Boeing format is  FFFFFbbbb/dddd where FFFFF is the fix name, bbbbb is the bearing with or without a decimal point, and ddddd is the distance, also with or without a decimal point.  However this may be a later feature of FMCs, not sure about the model in the 733.

Thanks!
