Programming the FMS

Hi,
I have a question regarding an assigned departure proceure:
I was flying a Aerosoft A320 Prof with PRO-ATC/x from KMKE to CYQB and was assigned a departure that included 2 extra way points from runway 25L. The way points were WALUM to SNAPS and then to SQUIB, where SQUIB was the first way point in the flight plan. I selected the Departure runway 25L, but obviously WALUM and SNAPS way points were not available, but showed up in the departure route of PRO-ATC/x.
How can I insert these two way points prior to SQUIB (1st way point in my flight plan) in my existing flight plan in the FMS?
Thanks for help

Juergen the waypoints WALUM & SNAPS are displayed by ProATC for information only ( the route vectoring will take you ) as your departure was by vectors, there is no need to enter these in the MCDU at all.

 

ProATC will assign headings and finally a heading to SQUIB and resume own navigation.

Thanks Stephen,

I understand what you are saying and that was actually how I was routed and flew the departure (with assigned heading).

But what if I was one of those "lazy" pilots and engage the A/P at 500' above the field and not wanting to rotate the heading selector, is there a way I could insert these  way points into the FMS prior to SQUIB?

Of course I would ignore ProATC.

Thanks for answer

I would suggest watching a video instead :)

 

In the version of the bus I use line select the F-PLN Discontinuity after KMKE to perform a LAT REVISION and enter WALUM as the next waypoint, repeat the LAT REVISION on WALUM and enter SNAPS.

 

Remove discontinuities.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for reply. I would like to learn about the Lateral Revision in the Aerosoft Airbus. Do you know of videos handling this topic.

Thanks again
