Crossing a waypoint at speed/level (ATC restrictions)

[eddinator]

Hey there,

love flying the plane.

One question was coming up:

How do I enter a altitude restriction for a certain waypoint? For example, when ATC asks me to cross Waypoint X at Level X.

 

Thanks for you help!

Hello, 

Navigate to your LEGS page and locate the waypoint which has had a constraint applied. 

Input the required level into the scratchpad and use the appropriate right side LSK (line select key) to transfer the information from the scratchpad. Some additional information below that you may find useful: 

-  To enter an altitude simply input "6000" or "12000". To enter a flight level input "F310" or "FL310" 

- If you're given an "at or above" put "A" afterwards, eg. "6000A". 

- If you're given an "at or below" put "B" afterwards, eg. "F270B"

- If you're given a "between" enter the lower altitude, then "A", then the upper altitude and "B" - eg. "7000A9000B"

- You can also input a speed restriction at the same time, eg. "250/10000" or "220/5000" using the forward slash to separate.
