    Question Lat/long waypoints in CDU

    Hi guys

    Does anyone know how to enter a lat/long waypoint in the route
    I tried the usual format
    NXXXXX/EXXXXXX (or W/XXXXXX)
    It gets in the route but never shows on the plan.
    Any idea?

    If you are talking about Atlantic reporting points, this is the syntax.

    N51.00.00 W030.00.00 is 5130N
    You also can find them on the Jeppesen charts

    " N51.00.00 W030.00.00 is 5130N "

    This short format works but the intermediate lat/long (like N51 25 20) should be usable too?

    I must miss something..
