FMC Waypoint Creation Format 737

There are several formats for creating waypoints in the FMC: 1. PBD waypoints specify a point that is at a specific bearing and distance from an existing waypoint in the FMC database. 2. BB waypoints define a point at the intersection of courses from two existing waypoints defined by their bearings. 3. ATWs mark a descent or climb restriction issued by ATC that is a certain distance before or after an existing waypoint along the flight route. 4. LLWs are pilot-entered waypoints defined by latitude and longitude coordinates.

FMC Waypoint Creation Format

(PBD) Place Bearing/Distance PPPPPBBB/DDD PPPPP = Existing Navigation Waypoint (1-5


Waypoint alphanumeric characters)
BBB.B = Bearing / 0-360 degrees
PBD waypoints describe a DDD.D = Distance/ 0-999 miles
geographic point that is at a
specific bearing and a specific
distance from a navigation fix that
is already defined in the FMC
navigation database. Example: HNK030/15
Bearing/Bearing waypoints (BBs) XXXXXBBB/YYYYYBBB XXXXX and YYYYY = Existing Navigation
fixes which are being used to describe the
PB/PB waypoints are fixes defined PB/PB waypoint.
by the intersection of courses from BBB.B = Bearing / 0-360 degrees
two waypoints. Decimal point is optional

Example: HFD010/BOS270
Along Track waypoints (ATWs) FFF/#DD FFF = Waypoint
# = + (beyond) or –(before)
Along track waypoints are The # above should be DD = Distance in nm
commonly used to mark a descent replaced with either a
or climb restriction that is issued + or a – sign. +
by ATC in reference to a navigation signifies beyond the
fix that exists along the route of waypoint while a –
flight. signifies before the
waypoint.) Example HNK/+10
Latitude Longitude Waypoints NXXXXX/EXXXXXX NXXXXX/EXXXXXX
(LLWs) SXXXXX/WXXXXXX SXXXXX/WXXXXXX

Latitude/Longitude waypoints are


pilot entered waypoints defined by
a specific geographic reference in a Example: N33º 30.9’ W115º 56.6’
latitude/longitude format. = N33309W115566

Note:

Not every command or format may work in Zibo as per version 3.34rc18 at the time of this document
creation. This bottle down to how much is actually programmed by Zibo for the mod.
