INITIALIZATION POSITION

The Initialization Position for non-IRS equipped systems should be
the departure runway threshold. For IRS equipped systems, the
ramp or alignment LAT/LONG position should be inserted as
Initialization Position.

NOTE: Once the INITIALIZATION Page appears, and after a brief
delay, the IDENT field normally prefills with the ICAO ident of the air-
port closest to the aircraft position at shut-down, provided the air-
craft’s real position and system position were the same at system
shutdown.

The Departure Position may be entered using either:

Option 1: Using the IDENT field for non-IRS equipped systems

Option 2: Using the POS field

Option 1: Using the IDENT field for non-IRS equipped systems

(Entering Alpha and Numeric Identifiers on the Initialization Page)

1. Line Select Key - DEPRESS to position cursor over the IDENT

Enter letters of the departure airport’s ICAO identifier. Enter let-
ters and numbers of the departure airport if it is a non-ICAO iden-
tifier.

2.

ENT Key - DEPRESS.
