Creating A User Defined Waypoint In The Cirrus Perspective (G1000)

Nice job.

[@apeelvis]

Useful and practical! You're a great teacher Marc!

[@pfflying6275]

And you're too kind. Love doing this stuff.

[@sccoberly]

Thanks! I got that same exact clearance about two months ago and did not fly it terribly well. This helps!

[@pfflying6275]

Great. That was the goal. I created the waypoint permanently (PIA035). I fly to KPIA a lot so it makes it really easy for me to "load and go".

[@robertreynolds9998]

Alternative approach using my iPad fore flight I do something like this. “KPIA PIA PIA/035/100 BDF PLANO DPA KPWK” 100 is random distance to get to get past the victor airway then back to the origin of V10. They intersect at the same spot. Just a quick alternative.

[@pfflying6275]

Actually you can do enter the following into Foreflight... KPIA PIA PIA035/BDF058 PLANO, etc. The way I wrote it provides the exact waypoint location. I seem to remember that it didn't translate to the Perspective using Flightstream however. I'll check that out again to see if it works. But of course, if you don't have Flightstream, then you need to do it on the Perspective.

I was trying to think how I would have done it. I think I would have entered the VOR frequency of PIA and put a course of 035 and flew that in the green needles to intercept V10. Lots of ways I guess but whatever works😁

[@pfflying6275]

Michael, that works. If I hand flew it, that's the way I would have done it. My goal was to put it in the flight plan page and have the option of the autopilot or flight director sequence it. I don't think you can have green needles on that page. Thanks for the comment.
