FMS setup - Initial actions

  1. IDENT Page. Upon application of power to the aircraft, the FMS immediately executes a self-test procedure. Once this self-test is successfully completed, the IDENT page will be displayed. In the IDEN page, the crew can confirm the aircraft details on start-up and confirmation of the navigation database in operation will be presented.
  2. POS INIT Page. After the IDENT page, we will be directed to the POS INIT page where we will be presented with the following information: IRS Position Reference, IRS Heading Reference, GMT / UTC / Time Zone Display.
  3. RTE Page. After completing our tasks upon the POS INIT page we will be directed to the RTE page where we will enter our starting and destination airport ICAO designators. We may then expect to enter our flight number details and identify a “standard” company route to take us to our destination.
  4. PERF INIT Page. Finally, we will move on to the PERF INIT page to update the aircraft to its current performance / weight configuration for the route to be flown.
