Radial Menu
The Radial Menu provides quick and easy access to review and interact with map items that lie within the inner radius. The Radial Menu also provides a ready means of selecting a direct-to waypoint, creating user waypoints, and inserting a selected point into the flight plan. The Radial Menu can also be used to activate Graphical Edit Mode, which is discussed later in the Flight Planning portion of this Flight Management Section.
The following discussion will provide an overview of the Radial Menu. For supplemental information on this topic refer to the Radial Menu discussion in the System Overview Section. Map items, viewing waypoint information and finding nearest waypoints, using direct-to navigation, viewing the VSD, and flight plan operations are all discussed in more detail later in this section.
-
Dynamic Buttons: There can be one to four dynamic buttons on the right side of the Radial Menu at any given time based on the available map items that lie within the inner radius.
-

static button shall be the Button. The Button is always displayed with the Radial menu,
but it will be subdued when there are no waypoint elements within the inner
radius. -
Create User Waypoint Button
: The middle
static button shall be the Create User Waypoint Button. -
Insert in Flight Plan Button
: The bottom,
left static button shall be the Insert in Flight Plan Button if the inner
radius contains a waypoint that is not in the Active Flight Plan. If no
waypoints lie within the inner radius , the Insert in Flight Plan Button

Graphical Reroute Button
: The Graphical
Reroute Button shall be displayed instead of the Insert in Flight Plan
Button if the inner radius contains a waypoint that is part of the Active
Flight Plan. If the inner radius contains a waypoint that is part of the
Active Flight Plan as well as waypoint(s) that are not a part of the Active
Flight Plan, touching this button will display a 'Select From Multiple'
Window so the intended waypoint and resulting functionality (Insert in
Flight Plan or activate Graphical Edit Mode) can be selected. -
