AlfredoDiaz Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hi, excuse my english. Could be possible that EFB2 depicts the dme arcs like EFB1 does? The EFB1 it's great to follow the arc with HDG, but in EFB2 I could not find this "heading tooltips" (if they exists...) TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are included in a procedure, tuey will be displayed properly 2. If you wish to insert any disance circle around a andom waypoint or navaid, just rightclick the desired WYP/NAV and select "Create Distance Circle" from the dropdown menu. A window will then pop up where you can enter the distance and - if needed, a radial. You don't need to confirm anything, just close the window if you're done.

The EFB1 breaks the dme arc in "steps" showing a radial and heading for each one...I do not have any picture but sure you know what I am talking about.

Hi Alfredo, Yes, I understand what you mean, but this is not the way a DME ARC is defined and used. EFB v1 just didn't use the proper method yet for drawing AF and RF legs. If you fly a DME ARC manually the Standard Procedure to fly would be the so-called spider-web method. You turn to 90° of the RMI bearing and follow it in 10° steps. You might google "DME ARC Spider Web" to find relevant tips. It's a standard IFR procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredoDiaz Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Thanks for the info. I know that efb1 is not the proper method but, it was really confortable.... it's a shame to lost it. Ok, never mind...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
