On the flightplan I entered this morning. It listed

KBFM LOXLY V198.QUINCY KTLH

The fixes between LOXLY and QUINCY were not shown.


What is QUINCY? I can't locate it, and I thought all intersections were
five characters.

I can only presume it's QUNCY but QUNCY doesn't exist on V198. Perhaps
he meant QUILL but I would have suspected the routing would have been
KBFM LOXLY V198 SZW KTLH. The system should have entered waypoints
for BRATT PENSI INBRD BAKOS CEW CORKY DEFUN CHEWS MAI SNEAD QUILL and
SZW if that's what was entered with the "LD ARWY" function. Course, he
was doing it from the PFD instead of the MFD, so it would be
interesting to know what was depected on the map and in the MFD's FPL
screen. I've only just installed these on my G1000s and haven't had
any chance to play with them myself. I do know from doing that
though, when entered via MFD it shows a leg of the flight plan as
"AIRWAY entry exit" and depicts the various waypoints on the map.
