RNAV WAYPOINT NESKA for EGLL

[terrywadeairbus]

Could anyone please help me, I'm trying to input the following waypoint into my SBS :

NEKSA : 512755.72N 0001001.89W

This is on an RNAV approach for RWY27L at EGLL/LHR.

Everytime I try to input it, it never appears near to Heathrow, do I need to convert to decimal degrees first, could someone please tell me what I need to input into the Waypoint folder?

Many Thanks

Terry

Thanks Amner for that, I thought that was the case, but I'm having difficulty converting it using
my convertor, could you please help?

Thanks

Hi Amner, that's what I use, I can get the Latitude in the correct location but not the longitude for some reason,

Thanks

Are you entering a minus for the W coordinate in degrees decimal?

[terrywadeairbus]

No I haven't been, Terry

[terrywadeairbus]

Still can't get NESKA showing in the correct place?

Maybe check you have the right coordinates in the first place?

[terrywadeairbus]

OK all sorted now, the coordinates were taken from the UK AIP, in fact the RNAV point is called NEKSA and not NESKA, it's just to the east of Battersea Helipad, a fix for a RWY 27L RNAV approach.

Thanks for your help,

Terry
