No actually it's fairly simple. We just program the DP, VORs,
intersections, and for the lat/longs, we can just type 35N140W for
3500N/14000W for example, and 35N150W for 3500N/15000W=AD, etc.=20

And.. I am betting your nav system has a full keypad, not a turn and
push arrangement like most GA panel mount GPS's

on channel 9 on a UA flight as a passenger, I heard one pilot
(don't remember the aircraft type) say that he couldn't
edit the flight plan as the 'r' key on their FMS was stuck.
Damn, I really hate having to tune/ident/twist/set those
VOR's when the FMS goes tango-uniform in an Archer. grin
