The CPA function calculates the closest distance that a route will pass a reference

waypoint, and is helpful when creating new route waypoints referenced to a NAVAID.

To calculate the closest point of approach (CPA) for any route:

1. Use

K

to display the route you would like to use for the CPA function. The route must

consist of at least two waypoints, and the reference facility must fall between the way-
points of a route leg.

2. Press

C

and use

O

to highlight the action field.

3. Use

K

to select ‘cpa?’. Press

5. Press

E

. The bearing and distance of the closest point on the route will be displayed.

6. Press

E

to add the cpa waypoint to the route, or

\

to finish. If you do add the cpa

waypoint to the route, it will be named based on the reference waypoint plus a number
(0...9) added to the end (e.g. KMCI3, etc.). If the waypoint does not fall between way-
points on the route, the reference waypoint does not exist, or a unique name cannot be
assigned to the CPA waypoint, you’ll be informed with a ‘Invald CPA wpt ____’ message.
