In this case, if the desiredidentifier appears, use the ENT Key to confirm the entry without entering the rest ofthe identifier manually. This can save the pilot from having to enter all the charactersof the identifier.Besides character-by-character data entry, the system also provides a shortcutfor entering waypoint identifiers. When the cursor is on a field awaiting entry of awaypoint identifier, turning the FMS Joystick counter-clockwise accesses a menuwith three different lists of identifiers for quick selections: recent waypoints (RECENTWPTS), nearest airports (NRST APTS), and flight plan waypoints (FPL WPTS). The G3Xautomatically fills in the identifier, facility, and city fields with the information for theselected waypoint.
