Flight planning, navigation and performance can be managed and controlled using the FMC. [. . . ] This is useful if creating missed approach holding patterns while holding for an approach. Pressing the "EXIT HOLD>" prompt at the 6R LSK causes the FMC to finish the current holding pattern and then continue on to the next waypoint. The other way to exit a hold is to go direct to another waypoint in the LEGS page. It is also possible to skip and/or delete holds using normal legs page management techniques (discussed previously). © Wilco Publishing Page 58 of 108 767 Pilot in Command DEPARTURE/ARRIVAL Page In the route programming section of this manual, the use of the DEP ARR page to expedite route programming was demonstrated. Pressing the DEP ARR key displays different DEP ARR pages depending on aircraft position. If the aircraft is on the ground, the DEP ARR INDEX page is displayed. If the aircraft is in flight and less than half way to the destination airport, the departure airport arrivals page is displayed. If the aircraft is more than half way to the destination, the destination airport arrivals page is displayed. Before we proceed, there is some important information about the SID/STAR/APP database that you must know about. The FMC comes with a limited number of standard procedures already programmed into the database. If you access the DEP/ARR INDEX pages for your favorite airports and find there is no data, this is not a bug in the program. Toward the end of this manual we provide information on how to program your own procedures and save them into the database. Please see the important information regarding the SID/STAR database found in the "Saving FMC Data" section near the end of the FMC manual. When approaching the destination airport and your routing requires the use of an arrival procedure (STAR), you can access these using the DEP ARR key. If the database finds STARs for the destination airport, they are listed on the LEFT side of the DEP ARR page. A limited number of STARs have been programmed into the database as examples (see the end of this document for custom STAR programming). Also, the approach procedure and destination runway are selected from the right side of the DEP ARR page. Approach procedures can also be custom programmed into the database (explained at the end of this document). STAR Selection In our example going to KLGA, the MINKS1 STAR with the GVE transition was selected during route programming on the ground. The FMC automatically joined the MINKS STAR to the route via the GVE waypoint. If a change in STAR procedures is required during flight, this can be accomplished by accessing the DEP ARR page by pressing the DEP ARR key on the FMC keyboard. This should display the KLGA ARRIVALS page (if not, then use the INDEX to find the KLGA ARR page prompt). [. . . ] Notice how we programmed the LEGS page logically so that all transition waypoints are grouped together for easy cutting and pasting. Once all of the transitions have been removed and saved separately, the basic STAR is left that can be re-saved to contain only the common STAR waypoints. Just as with the SID file creation, we open the "KRDU-SBV5. wst" file using Windows Notepad. Cut, paste, and save each transition file the same way we did with the SIDs. [. . . ]
