resolving any conflicts by turning the Large knob to highlight it and
then pressing the CLR key. Deleting a discontinuity results in a fix-to-fix
direct nav path between those waypoints.
Pilot Nav Legs
When the “Pilot Nav” message appears on a leg in your flight plan it
means the CNX80 will not provide guidance on that leg. You will have
to use other flight instruments or autopilot modes to fly the given pro-
cedure leg until intercepting the course to the next waypoint. Once
the intercept is complete the flight plan will sequence and begin pro-
viding guidance to the waypoint.
The CNX80 will go into Suspend mode when the current leg is a Pilot
Nav leg. Pressing SUSP again sequences you to the next leg in the pro-
cedure. As you arrive at the course the course deviation indicator will
begin to center and once again you may engage the appropriate NAV
mode on your autopilot or flight director.
