1 No. the waypoint sequence number in the route
2 Name the name of the waypoint (optional)
3 LAT the latitude (N / S value) of the waypoint position
4 LON the longitude (E / W value) of the waypoint position
5 RAD the radius in NM of the planned turn at the waypoint position
6 ETA/ETD the Estimated Time of Arrival or the Estimated Time of Departure at the waypoint position
7 ET Mode the calculation method or mode for the ETA (see chapter XYZ)
8 PP the selection / indication of Parameter Points
