CRJ FMC question

[wile_genius]

Hi!

I'm using CRJ 200 1.4.3 and I'm trying to set up the FMC for the first time.

Can someone tell me, how to enter the first leg? The CRJ manual 1.1.0 says:

"Once you have set the departure and arrival airport you can continue choosing the next waypoint on the route. For that you only have to press the NEXT PAGE button and introduce the VIA or the point (to go direct to it). "

However, this doesn't seem to work: the page says "1/1" on top, so "NEXT PAGE" does nothing, even if I press "EXEC" first. In Javier's tutorial 1.1.0, the FPLN page says "1/2" right from the start...

And if I try to fill the "VIA" and "TO" fields right on the first page, I can't add more legs to my route...

Does someone have a hint for me?

Thanks,

Chris

After selecting the right STAR, it seems to work... :-)

The method has changed in 1.4 and now works like the real one:

The first waypoint goes into the RLSK4 position on the FPLN 1 page. After you inserted the first waypoint, the secondpage will become available. The same happens, as you already noticed, when you select the SID first.

Hi Philipp!

Thanks for your answer!

I tried entering the first waypoint into RLSK4 first, but without specifying SID/STAR, the second page didn't show up. Is this a bug? (Note, that the waypoint in RLSK4 showed up in magenta color, not in white...)

Thanks,

Chris
