Nav Coordinates Precision

[Avio]

When entering coordinates into the Nav panel, it seems the coordinates' "seconds" could only be entered for one digit instead of two. Degrees and minutes can take 2 digits though.

 

The "missing" last digit of the seconds results in areas marked that can be quite far off from where they were intended to be. Is this supposed to be this way?

From what I remember (I haven't flown the Ka-50 for a very long time), I think the last digit is not seconds, but tens of minutes. So that 5 would be 30 seconds, and not 50 seconds

 

So it would use 42° 32.5" instead of 42° 32" 30'.

Thanks Robin. Will test out converting the seconds to fractional decimal and see if it points correctly.

Yes, thats the way it works.

 

You can convert the Abris to this type of coordinates aswell on the option panel in the Abris.

Or you have to divide the last number by 6 and entering the rounded result.
