Equi-time point on FMS
Dear flyers i’m interested in knowing how to build an equi-time point on the ND using FMS,anybody out there to give me an insight is much appreciated |
Equi time point from what two points. Nearest diversions or origin and dest? A good start would be to look at the distances and adjust for wind, it doesn't have to be to exact. If its an Airbus, the FMGC will give you an EQTP and the range to closest destinations. |
I’m guessing your flight plan gives you the information? Create a fix and use a range ring, or create a waypoint, corresponding to the info given on the flight plan. |
Quite common to do on an oceanic flight which dependent on what scenario you use; eng out, decompression etc. Which is given to you in a lat long and input as a waypoint. Most important to remember to only use on your secondary flight plan not your steering flight plan for creating these points.

We do it either as a time fix or a lat/long waypoint after discontinuity on legs page.
