Drawing 100 nm. and bigger circles via FIX page
Hello folks.
Just to see if you happened to try this and get the same response from your PM Boeing setup ...
Last night - whilst flying at cruise level 350 - I decided to draw a circle on the ND with a radius of 105 nm. (to see how far it was from the computed T/D).
Therefore I accessed the CDU (ver 394) FIX page, I entered the destination as a fix via LSK 1L, and then entered
/105
via LSK 2L.
No big circle appeared on the ND, and only when I zoomed in, I could see that a 5 nm. circle had been drawn instead.
Did another try with
/110
and saw a 10 nm. circle drawn around the fix.
So I thought that maybe PM CDU doesn't deal with 100 nm., and plus, circles but, as far as I know, there shouldn't be such limitations on the real stuff.
If you confirm so, and if you happen to notice the same behavior, I will write to PM support about this (I don't want to bother them with non-existing bugs !!!).
Thanks for the attention and regards.
