Rubber band

[frank marriott]

The latest OzRunways uses a term rubberband in relation to an IFR approach point - is this a regular computer term? It means nothing to me, can anyone shed any light on what is meant by it/how to do it?

I have just started with ozrunways, there are plenty of tutorials on Youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIrnTlnTQB4 this one at 1.30 shown how to pick a location, do you think this is what is meant ?

You could have hit the nail on the head. I was aware of this function but did not associate the term rubberband with it!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The bit I was refering to was

 

GNSS RNAV Approaches: Rubber-band any IAF waypoint into your plan and you will be offered to load the entire approach.

 

It does not "offered to load the entire approach" but then I realised that the ozrunways suscription I was using was the VFR package so the approach plate would not be included.

 

Satisfys my query, the term had me lost, thanks.

Isn't that the thing in front of the firewall... you wind it up and it makes the propeller go?
