Boeing FMC/CDU - Route Modifications
Hello All
I have just completed my TR on the 737 and I await Line Training with my airline. I have been reviewing the various FCOMs and FCTMs that we have been supplied and was looking into Route Modifications via the FMC. The question that I have is how I would input a route modification like such...
For example, ATC want you to be level at say FL70 15nm before a waypoint which you are currently routing to. I realise that the FMC allows you to input this instruction into the LEGS page by creating a new waypoint, however I cannot for the life of me remember how to do it. Many thanks for the help, CK

A way i often use is use the fix page, put the waypoint in and then put a ring round it at the fixed distance then just make sure the banana bar is on there. Useful if you have to be at a certain height or speed on a waypoint that isn't on your actual route but abeam it.
Don't worry though your line trainers will show you all this good stuff.

Via the legs page...."waypoint name"/-15. line select it over the waypoint then set the hard FL70 on the created line.
