VOR radial & distance fix

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Last night I got a clearance which was essentially KSGS -> MKT/283/21 -> KTKC; that is, direct from KSGS to the Mankato VOR 283º Radial at 21nm, then direct Tracy MN.    I entered this by creating a custom waypoint for the fix off the Mankato VOR and flew the flight normally.
I'm wondering if there is an easier way to enter such a fix rather than create a custom waypoint.   I don't think so after searching through the pilot's guide, but thought perhaps I missed it or there was something new in 10.2.  

Anyone?

	A long time ago I put in a suggestion to add the ability to quick add fixes like that, similar as how you do it in a Honeywell FMS. Crossing radials: JFK190/CYN100 rad/dist: JFK190/25 5nm before a waypoint (eg. HOPCE) already in the flightplan: HOPCE/-5 lat/long, N 47.0, W 080.0 N470W0800 http://forums.avidyne.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=432&PID=15485&#15485 No action on this that I've seen. * Orest
