FMC & SLOP (strategic lateral offset procedure)
Can anyone tell me if there is a built in feature in the boeing FMC's that allows this process to be automated. If so, can anyone provide a link with further information?
Thanks!

R1, R2 etc IS automated.....you type it in and the offset is drawn, then the autopilot follows it. How automated do you want it to be?

This automated offset procedure was also available on the very first true FMS/FMC to be available on a widebody civil jet transport.
The FMS/FMC was manufactured by Hamilton Sundstrand, and provided complete LNAV/VNAV/engine thrust management in one neat package, quite a long time ago.
Installed on the Lockheed TriStar...which was first with many unique features.
