Route Page with Data Entries

Flight Management, Navigation -FMC Preflight 737 Operations Manual

VIA
The VIA column displays the route segment to the waypoint or segment termination displayed in the TO column. Enter the path which describes the route segment between the previous waypoint and the segment termination.
Enter an airway in the VIA column and box prompts are displayed in the TO column if the previous TO line contains a waypoint on the airway.
Valid entries can also include procedures or DIRECT. Procedures are normally entered through selections on DEPARTURES and ARRIVALS pages. DIRECT is normally entered as a result of entering a TO waypoint first.
Valid airways must:
.
contain the fix entered in the TO waypoint, and

.
contain the previous TO waypoint.

Dashed prompts change to DIRECT if the TO waypoint is entered first.
Dash prompts appear for the first VIA beyond the end of the route.
Invalid VIA entries display the scratchpad entry INVALID ENTRY.
Invalid VIA entries are:
.  
airways and company routes which do not contain the TO waypoint of the
previous line

.
airways or company routes that are not in the navigation database.

When entering airways, the beginning and ending waypoints determine if the entry is valid. The route segment must contain the waypoint entered in the TO position. The TO waypoint of the previous route segment must be the same as the beginning point of the current route segment, or a route discontinuity is created between the segments.
Entry of a SID or transition automatically enters the VIA and TO data for the route segments of the SID. A SID automatically links to the next route segment when the final SID waypoint is part of the route segment.
LACRE3.VAMPS is an example of a SID selection made on the DEPARTURES page.
V2 is an example of airway entry.

TO
Enter the end point of the route segment specified by the VIA entry.
Entry of a waypoint in the TO column without first entering a VIA airway displays DIRECT in the VIA column.
Box prompts indicate that an entry is required.
