how to enter course / nav pmdg 777

To do this in PMDG 777 you need to go to NAV RAD page of your FMC and set VOR frequency (or ID) and the course you need to follow (CRS). Actually you will enter the VOR and the course together – like this BLH/090. There is a dashed green line on the Navigation Display now. In VOR mode Nav Display will show a familiar CDI needle and deviation dots.

Why do I write about radionavigation in 777?

Does the Boeing 777 follow a course?

Usually planes like 777 do not operate from airports that do not have procedures programmed in FMC’s database and they do not use navaid radials in en route navigation.

Can you fly along radials on a 777?

Flying along radials is no different than flying any other great circle route. With 777’s FMC I do not need to actually follow navaid’s radial – I can enter two points of this radial as waypoints and fly this route using LNAV mode.
