At midcourse, add a waypoint offset to one side or the other by a couple of miles. The enroute time would be changed

But, that wouldn't be a parallel offset and would result in crossing the two end points precisely on course.

Also, the offset should be much smaller than 2 miles for domestic airspace operations.



But the end points are where you want to be - one is where you started and one is where you are going. If you have a
system that does not have the parallel course function, then this would be a simple solution. If you want perfect, then
plot a course using multiple waypoints...PIC chooses....
