How to make spi to a Navigation Point?

[Longbow116]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to make your SPI to a waypoint/steerpoint?

 

Would just like to know.

 

Thank you

Your current steerpoint is automatically your default SPI - confirm by having regard to the HUD indication bottom left of SPI generator, STPT. To toggle from another SPI generator, just set SPI to steerpoint via the HOTAS.

You can do that in several ways.

 

1. With TAD as SOI: Place the cursor on the location you want the markpoint then do TMS right short.

2. With TGP as SOI: TMS right short

 

In fact, i think almost every sensor can create a mark point. But i only use TAD + TGP, and overhead marks. OH marks are created with the mark (MK?) button on the UFC.

 

Edit: I just misread the entire post. I will punish my self later on.

Ok, thank you very much. Will try out.

and you can use markpoints as flight plan waypoints too.

Another option:

 

Select TAD as SOI

 

Slew cursor over SPI

 

Hook SPI (TMS UP)

 

Now on your TAD page, OSB 17ish, you'll see a number with a question mark next to it. If you press that OSB a mission waypoint will be created with whatever number was next to that "?"

 

...options are good :)
