Ensure your data bar fields
contain XTK (Cross-track)
Activate a flight plan
consisting of at least the start
and end points of the route.
Fly down one side of the
route at 1.0NM XTK, then
down the other side at
1.0NM XTK
* Can also be performed using a
the “Parallel Track” feature
on a leg of the flight plan
Creeping Line Search
This is really just a parallel track
pattern with different
dimensions
1. Find DTK between start point
and end point by entering
that leg in the flight plan
2. FMS knob: Highlight
beginning waypoint

Pattern: Parllel
Initial DTK: 90 degrees from
the DTK between waypoints
Initial Turn: Left or Right
depending on whether you
added or subtracted 90
degrees
Leg Length: 5.0NM
Spacing: 2.0NM
Number of legs: A few
dozen
7. FMS knob: ACTIVATE SAR
8. ENT button
DTK = 245
Initial DTK = 254-90
Initial DTK = 155
Turns = Right turns,
because we
subtracted 90
degrees from the
DTK
