tech_op2000 Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 This potential bug relates to navigating to pages on the a10c2 Tank killer CDU. Summary: Pressing STEERPOINT on the WP Menu takes me to the WAYPT Page instead of to the STRINFO page. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Press "WP" on CDU. 2.On WP MENU, press either WAYPOINT or STEERPOINT soft keys (top right or top left respectively). 3.Note how in either case it navigates to WAYPT page. 1b. Now on UFC, press Func 2b. Press 0 (Steer) 3b. Note how the CDU now navigates to the STRINFO page. Thoughts: Is this intended behavior or should STEERPOINT soft key navigate to STRINFO when pressed on the WP MENU? This behavior can also be produced using the CDU display on the right MFD. And by using UFC Func, then 3 (WP) to navigate to the WP MENU.
tech_op2000 Posted September 19, 2021 Author Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) WP Menu, Accessed by Func 3 or by WP button on CDU. Waypoint Page, accessed by BOTH Steerpoint and Waypoint on WP Menu. Steer Info Page, cannot be accessed through WP MENU. Edited September 19, 2021 by tech_op2000
jaylw314 Posted September 20, 2021 Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) The STRINFO page is a read-only info page selected by turning the PAGE knob on the AAP to STEER (or pressing FUNC then 0 on the UFC). It's not part of the WAYPT subpage In the WP menu, the WAYPOINT OSB brings up the WAYPT subpage. You can change and modify any waypoint here. If you happen to select the waypoint that is the current steerpoint, you'll see SP to the right of the waypoint identifier. If you go away from this page and come back to it via WP menu -> WAYPOINT OSB, it'll bring up the last waypoint you had selected. If you press the STEERPOINT OSB from the WP menu, it will send you to the WAYPT subpage, but it will automatically select the current steerpoint instead of the last selected waypoint. As an example, if waypoint 0 is my current steerpoint, I can go to the WP MENU -> WAYPOINT OSB and select waypoint 3 to modify it. However, waypoint 0 remains the current steerpoint. If I go elsewhere in the CDU and return to via WP MENU -> WAYPOINT OSB, waypoint 3 will still be selected even though waypoint 0 is still the steerpoint. If, however, I press WP MENU -> STEERPOINT, it will bring up the WAYPT subpage with waypoint 0 selected instead. Edited September 20, 2021 by jaylw314
tech_op2000 Posted September 22, 2021 Author Posted September 22, 2021 I see now, that functionality is cool. I wouldn't go so far as to call the STRINFO read-only though. I go to that page, type in the start of any waypoint I want to go to and paste it in the top right and it sequences that to my active steer point. Is their a way to navigate to that page through the cdu without using the ufc or the page knob?

By "read-only" I just meant the waypoints can't be modified in the STRINFO and WPINFO pages.
