Waypoint Entry

In addition to standard named aviation points (airports, navaids, fixes, etc.), FlyQ EFB accepts a wide variety of different ways to express a point in space. Virtually everywhere in the app that accepts standard named points also accepts these points.

Latitude/Longitude

There is no standard way to enter latitude/longitude points so FlyQ EFB recognizes all the common formats such as:

 W121.25N47.5 or N47.5W121.25 or 121.25W47.5N  W121.25xN47.5 or N47.5xW121.25  W121'15'N47'30' or N47'30'W121'15'  4730/12115  4730N/12115W

Note: You cannot use spaces to separate latitude and longitude because FlyQ EFB interprets spaces as multiple idents.

Relative Bearings

You can express a point as relative to a navaid, airport, or fix by using the airport, navaid, or fix ident, a slash, a radial (or bearing for a fix or airport), and a distance in NM.

For example: SEA/87/35

This is the point 35 NM along the 87 radial from the SEA VOR. If a fix or airport is used instead of a navaid, the first number is a magnetic bearing rather than a radial.

In cases, such as above, where the ident is both a navaid and an airport, the navaid is used. To specify an airport in such an ambiguous case, use the ICAO rather than FAA ident for the airport (e.g. KSEA in this case). Intersection of Two Radials Sometimes ATC tells you to fly to the intersection of radials from two different navaids. This can be expressed by entering the first ident and the desired radial then a slash with the second ident and the desired radial. For example: SEA104/TCM74 This is where the 104 radial from SEA meets the 74 radial from TCM. It also happens to be the RADDY fix.
