Direct-To Navigation

The direct-to method of navigation allows quick selection of a waypoint and provides guidance to the selected point. Initiate a direct-to by touching the Softkey.

Direct-to navigation may be provided to any waypoint. Once a direct-to is activated, the system establishes a course from the present position to the selected direct-to waypoint, with initial turn as needed. When activating a direct-to with only a single waypoint in the flight plan, the direct-to waypoint will be inserted into the active flight plan. This adds the navigation waypoint into flight plan instead of creating an off-route direct-to. Course guidance is provided until the direct-to is canceled, replaced with a new direct-to, or a new flight plan leg or sequence is activated.

The direct-to course to a waypoint can be manually selected. Otherwise, the course defaults to a direct leg from the aircraft present position to the direct-to waypoint.

The Direct-To Function can be accessed from any waypoint information screen (Airport Information, Intersection Information, VOR Information, NDB Information, VRP Information, or User Waypoint Information), and from some of the nearest waypoint screens (Nearest Airport, Nearest Intersection, Nearest VOR, Nearest NDB, Nearest VRP, Nearest User, or Nearest Weather). Direct-to requests on waypoint information screens or nearest waypoint screens default to the displayed waypoint.
