Altitude and course intercept conditional waypoints are displayed on the CDU
inside (parentheses) marks. The following diagram depicts conditional waypoints.
Note:
When (VECTOR) is the active leg and LNAV is not engaged, the FMC
automatically sequence to the next waypoint when within 3 nm of the next
leg. If (VECTOR) is the active waypoint and LNAV is engaged, the FMC
does not automatically sequence to the next waypoint. The next waypoint
becomes active only upon EXECution of the procedures for Proceeding
Direct To a Waypoint or Intercepting a Leg to a Waypoint.
Manually Entered Latitude/ Longitude Waypoint Names
Pilot defined waypoints entered as a latitude and longitude are displayed in a
five–character format. The first three characters are WPT followed by a two digit
sequence number. Latitude and longitude waypoints are entered with no space or
slash between the latitude and longitude entries. Leading zeroes must be entered.
All digits and decimal points (to 1/10 minute) must be entered unless the latitude
or longitude are full degrees. Examples:
• N47° W008° is entered as N47W008 and displayed as WPT01
• N47° 15.4’ W008° 3.4’ is entered as N4715.4W00803.4 and displayed
as WPT02.
