Default Moving aircraft initial starting points in MSFS

Is it possible to move an aircraft in MSFS either graphically or
by numbers (lat and long, alt, heading, IAS) easily? Right
now it appears I have to fly into the position/configuration
I want and then save it. If I want to practice approaches
at different airports, holding patterns (ADF, VOR, DME,
at intersections, etc) this could get pretty annoying having to
fly for a half hour or more to get it in the right spot.

More specifically I'm hoping it has something like in
the Elite Sim where you can click and drag the plane where
you want and then type in the altitude, heading, etc.

thanks in advance
Gerald Sylvester

Or in FSNav, you can right click on the map and use 'Move aircraft to here'.
It just pops over to any point in the world immediately.
