for the new user waypoint is derived from the 
identifier of the reference waypoint. 

Parallel Track? allows you to create a parallel 

course offset of 1 to 99 NM to the left or right of your 
current flight plan. After setting a parallel track to your 
current flight plan, a magenta parallel track line will be 
drawn offset from the original by the selected distance. 
The original course line will be drawn in white. The 
aircraft will navigate to the parallel track course line. 

When you reach the end of the flight plan, a 

message will state “Parallel offset terminating in X 
seconds”. The message will be given when the aircraft 
reaches the offset distance from the end of the parallel 
track. This will give the pilot sufficient time to inter-
cept the original course.
