ois650 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) At present, the format in which Simbrief outputs VOR radial & distance waypoints does not work with the Collins FMS. To enter the waypoint manually in the correct format do (VOR IDENTIFIER)(RADIAL)(FORWARD SLASH)(DISTANCE). Examples Shannon Radial 237 @ 40 miles: SHA237/40 Cork Radial 049 @ 27 miles: CRK049/27 Dublin Radial 345 @ 17 miles: DUB345/17 The above can be entered into the scratchpad and subsequently the flight plan just like any other waypoint.

GridiroN Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 I don't think I have ever had Simbrief suggest a VOR + a distance as a waypoint. Isn't this primarily only used for SIDs and approaches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Moore Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Is there a way to build a user waypoint off a fix in your flightplan, eg. if you wanted to make a pseudo base leg fix off the CI for the runway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDX -> NEXT -> DATABASE -> DEFINE WPT 1) Enter name (of your choosing, five characters) in the top left where I've put "EDDDD". 2) Choose a bearing and distance from an existing point and enter under PLACE BRG / DIST (You can do an intersection with just bearings below also) 3) Select STORE WPT 4) Navigate to DIR page and insert your new fix. Hope this helps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Moore Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Brilliant, I'll give that a go - thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
