 Clearing the
SCRATCH PAD
•The FMS SCRATCH PAD is the
primary source for data entry into
the FMS system.
•Along with the FMS message
display window it is also an area
where system messages are
displayed.
•In order to enter data into the
SCRATCH PAD any existing
messages must first be cleared.
•Whenever a new message
appears, it is a good practice to
note the message and then clear
it.
•Messages in the SCRATCH
PAD and FMS message display
window may be cleared via the
MFD NAV page or from the
UFCP.
•On the NAV page MSG CLR
will appear at LSK R1 if there is
an active message. Pressing
LSK R1 will clear the message
from the MFD message window
and the SCRATCH PAD. 4
