15 CRUISING SPEED Did you know?

1 True airspeed for the first or the whole cruise
portion of the flight, set as: N for Knots If you don't enter a TOTAL EET figure, a temporary figure is
followed by a four-digit figure, M for Mach automatically calculated upon STORE/UPDATE based on
followed by a three-digit figure, or K for great circle distance and speed (no winds).
Kilometers/H followed by a four-digit number.

i.e. K0830, N0485, M082

portion of the flight, set as: F for Flight Level in
100s of feet, A for plain altitude in 100s of feet,
S for Standard Metric Level in tens of metres,
M for plain altitude in tens of metres, or V for
uncontrolled VFR (number field left blank).

i.e. F330, M0840, A045

ROUTE
3 A string of points usually no more than 30
minutes flying time or 200nm apart, including
those points where a change of speed, level,
track, or flight rules is planned. Points can be 1 2 3
listed by their ICAO name (i.e. LN, MAY, HADDY),
a 7 or 11-character representation of their
coordinates (i.e. 46N078W, 4620N07805W), or a
point relative to a named point based on
bearding and distance (i.e. DUB190040 being
40nm out on the 190 degree magnetic bearing
from DUB). 4 5
Change of speed and/or level is indicted by
adding data formatted as in 15 CRUISING SPEED
and LEVEL to the end of a fix, after a slash (i.e.
MAY/N0305F180, 46N078W/M082F330).
Change of flight rule is indicated by a stand-
alone VFR or IFR to indicate the beginning of
that phase of flight.

where HH is a two-digit representation of the
hours and MM is a two-digit representation of
minutes in flight.
