UKJim 502 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hi guys, just a quick question - in the Majestic dash 8 is it possible to step through the route of the planned flight on the display? I know you can do it in the airbus and im sure ive done it in the Boeing aircraft. Cheers Jim Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,316 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't think so or have never come across a way to do that. Wouldn't be a bad option to have though so somebody please call me out and show the way. Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 The reason for this is I put sometimes put in my flight plan and then when I am cruising and choosing my STAR approach I insert it fine; then when I reach the point where the star starts it sometimes puts a waypoint that doesn't make any sense. So for instance - it would put a waypoint that tracks back on yourself with a really sharp turn, then go back to where you come from and continue the start by doing a complete U-turn I have to then panic and update the plan asap to delete any waypoints that I feel are just causing bother - not good when you're trying to get ready to land lol. In the real world I am sure this would not happen? it would not make sense at all. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,316 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Can you quickly input a direct too wp to bypass any irregularity? Normally your plan should be fully programed before the start of the flight. Link to post Share on other sites
