People in charge of the database is able to load arcs with a given radious. It's not possible to do it from the mcdu (the flight computer keyboard and display).

People in charge of the database is able to load arcs with a given radious. It's not possible to do it from the mcdu (the flight computer keyboard and display). I guess this was designed on the ground and then loaded at the aircraft.
- bulte-rs 13y agosince the flightplan shows a certain number of lat/long style waypoints you can assume they did this. Entering arcs in the FMS is somewhat possible (by approximation, i.e. multiple FIX<radial>/<distance> points); but entering these digits that way would be unpracticle (albeit NOT impossible).
