The Direct-To Entry Option becomes a factor if you
go Direct-To a waypoint which is not in the Active
flight plan.
With the May Clear Direct-To Entry Option, the
Direct-To waypoint will be inserted in the Active
flight plan, and all of the other waypoints will be
deleted from the Active flight plan.
With the Never Clears Direct-To option, the
Direct-To waypoint is inserted before the current
To waypoint.
The May Clear option is useful for the pilot who
uses the Direct-To function for the majority of
flight planning, and doesn’t want to be bothered
with a steadily increasing number of waypoints in
the Active flight plan. The Never Clears option is
useful when you need to vector off from the Active
flight plan’s path temporarily, resuming the
previously entered flight plan at a later time, such as
for a “cleared direct to the xyz VOR, rest of route
unchanged” type of clearance.
The default setting for the Direct-To Entry is Never
Clears. The Apollo SL50/60 retains the last
Direct-To Entry Option setting when it is powered
up.
