FMS Question

[wgreen]

Often times on STAR approach plates you will see an altitude restriction that is a certain number of miles from an actual fix.  (ie 20 NM before a fix on the STAR).  Is it possible to program this kind of restriction into the FMS for the CL650?

In the scratchpad write WAYPT/-20, eg KERPU/-20, then add it to LEGS page where you want it with Left LSK, then type /ALT, eg /10000, and add it with Right LSK on the waypoint’s line.

Would be curious to see one of these STARs!

Thanks!  I'll give it a shot on the next flight.  The STAR I found this on was the WIPOR3 into KPVD.  It says to expect to cross at or below FL210 20NM Northwest of the NELIE Intersection.  I know that's not an exact altitude restriction but I've seen it done on YouTube with a real pilot and was wondering if it was possible on this aircraft.

Thanks again!
