FMC NEW WAYPOINT format error

[OELVA]

As per the manual, I've tried entering waypoint SUXTU in format 5303.4N/01716.51E by typing it into the scratchpad like in my screenshot and hit LSK2L but I only get a Format Error.

Have I found a bug or am I doing something wrong here?

Just tried via place, bearing and distance and PBD works fine, just lat/long is giving me the format error.

Thanks for the feedback. Looking into your specific example, the root cause is the extra decimal place in the longitude. I.e. "/01716.51E" will generate a FORMAT ERROR scratchpad message, but "/01716.5E" will be accepted.

We've logged this on our internal trackers for further investigation.
