CDU Offset Capable of TO Waypoint?

[CrossWiseRanger]

Needing a CDU ace to show me how, if possible, to do an offset whereby enter data TO the waypoint instead of FROM the waypoint.

 

Example would be to place a waypoint at the initial point for ILS landing.

 

I know how to use OSET page which requires FROM selected waypoint. Also know how to hook Cursor to selected Waypoint which shows TO. Also know I could just enter the reciprocal heading.

 

So, please don't tell me how to do that with standard OSET. I'm trying to find out if the capability exists for an OSET TO selected waypoint.

 

Thanks

Offset point is usually a point a set distance away from a waypoint. i.e. the waypoint comes first. I don't think it's possible to set an offset before a waypoint if that's what you're trying to do?

 

To place a marker in a custom position use the TAD cursor and hit Lctrl + Right arrow.

 

If you're trying to get info relative to 2 points you could set the TAD to 'Hook to Cursor' and then hook your selected point and move the cursor to your desired point.
