So if you dont know the syntax of a coded waypoint, CNF point, or other coded ponts that just the FMS sees, how do you know you wont over-write one in the database? FI001 could easily be in a database...

Depending on how the FMS is set up, you can get many different values for the turn anticipation, so you would have to experiment on how to get that to work.

This is an example of the same coded procedure, and the associated tracks for the different aircraft types and FMS manufacturers....



Specifically, the green track, and others, cut all the corners, and magenta even misses a turn...
