It's mostly used by people flying SAR missions. You keep increasing the
offset and end up flying a box pattern.


Ah, OK. I had read about trans-Atlantic flights using an offset and assumed
it was available in these WAAS boxes given their extreme accuracy and the
increased chances of mid-airs on climb-outs and descents.


It would be nice to use it on Victor airways, had they only offered
offests in 1/10 mile increments.



It would be nice to have victor airways in the box....


All the necessary components of Victor airways are in the box. What you
want, I presume, is an airway database. I guess you have to go to a
G-1000 to get that.;-)
