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

Degrees decimal everytime:

MARGO,,1,2,54.7075,-2.77472,0
Sibson,,15,1,52.55583333,-0.386388889,26
Coventry,,2,1,52.36981,-1.47968,281
Brize Norton,EGVN,2,1,51.75,-1.583611111,288

Please view Bones' Tutorials, Waypoints are fully explained there.

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

Use this:

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?

No I haven't been, Terry

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

Terry

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

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
