737-800 runway extension point in FMS. .I really need some explanation about the FMS operation logics.Because of such kinds of situations happened to me so many times that I'd like to dig out the truth.. .Every time when I selec the rwy in DEP/APP page instead of electing any instrumenet approaches(no matter Precision or non-precicion), there will be showing rwy extension point on 4R or 5R which I do not remember exactly! Let say I select rwy 20, then I choose to put a 3nm extension point before the rwy. The weird things starts to happen, I check my leg page, there is breakout line between the rwy and extension point. It will not be able to connect until I put the altitude 900 on the extension, then the distance shown between the extension point and rwy is 4(some other airport will get you 6 or 5nm) instead of 3nm which I define it. Geographically speaking, the extension point location is correct but the distance is totally wrong. Help!!!!!
