This longitude value is not correct as it would mean 231 degrees.
Try entering E023183

I agree. That was my initial problem as well starting out. The 0 is very important.

Hello,

I'm sorry but I disagree, the 0 is not needed, it's removing the 4 that is important, in order to respect this format : EXXX°XX.X'
The numbers are "loaded" from the right to the left, so if you enter E23183 it will show on the CDU E023°18.3, the 0 beeing the default value, you don't need to enter it (but you can, it will work)

I hope I was clear ;D
