DEP/ARR page "ERASE" missing

[xplana]

hi guys,

i just noticed that on the DEP/ARR menu in the fmc, there is, once you choose  a SID odr STAR, the appropriate runway and the respective TRANS noc chance to change the choosen items.

As far as i know, the lowest LSK on the left side should provide an "ERASE" funcitionality. Currently, there seemes no way to change the values you have choosen, only via leaving the ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES page and call the page up again.

<ERASE is active after an initial route EXEC.  ...and you need to 'undo' your changes relative to the active route.  If no route is active yet (due to no EXEC), there is nothing to "erase" per se....and the method here is to simply overwrite what you have before.

hey tom,

you are right, once a SID and the respective RWY become part of a route, i do get the ERASE function. When initially entering a SID and RWY i feel somehow stuck. I just did a little video to demonstrate my "strange feeling" :-)
