OK Gents:

Pull out your iPads and look at the RNAV (GPS) RWY 16R approach to KPAE. 

From the IAF of EYWOK to the end of the runway is 11.1 miles.  So, according to my limited understanding, it would seem that your distance to KPAE would be 11.1 miles plus how far you are from EYWOK.

On the screen shot below, I'm just outside of EYWOK -- 0.8 miles according to the information in the lower right of the screen.

One would think that the distance to KPAE would be 0.8 plus 11.1, or 11.9 miles rather than the 27.6NM listed below.












Here is a screen shot that makes sense.  The distance to EYWOK is 0.7NM, and the distance to KPAE is 11.8, which makes sense, knowing that EYWOK is 11.1 miles from KPAE.










In this shot, I'm abeam ETWOK, so one would think that the distance to KPAE would be close to 11.1 miles, yet it says I'm 42.2NM away.






I know that I'm going to be really really embarrassed when you guys explain to me what I'm doing wrong and or how I'm hitting the wrong buttons or don't know how to read my own navigation screen.

But my curiosity is killing me.  So I'll swallow my ego for the moment and open myself up to ridicule and criticism (I'll just assume you guys are my first X-wife) just to find out what I'm doing wrong.


From my perspective, I'm close to EYWOK, 11.1 miles from KPAE.  And I get three readings about my distance from KPAE:  27.6NM, 11.8NM, and 42.2.

Your help and 'explanations are much appreciated!

Cheers,

John Hafen
