Direct-To Navigation
The direct-to function provides a quick method
of setting a course to a waypoint. Once a direct-to is
activated, the unit establishes a point-to-point course
line (geodesic path) from your present position to the
selected direct-to waypoint. The unit will provide navi-
gation guidance to the selected direct-to waypoint until
the direct-to is manually cancelled or replaced by a new
active leg or direct-to.
To select a direct-to waypoint:
1. Press the direct-to key. The Select Direct-to
Waypoint Page appears, with the waypoint
identifier field highlighted.
Pressing the direct-to key displays the Select
Direct-to Waypoint Page.
2. Use the small and large right knobs to
enter the identifier of the desired direct-to
waypoint.
Use the small and large right knobs to enter
the name of the direct-to waypoint. Press ENT
once the name has been fully entered.
3. Press ENT to confirm the selected waypoint
and ENT (again) to activate the direct-to func-
tion.
If you’re navigating to a waypoint and get off
course, the direct-to function may also be used to re-
centertheCDI (HSI) needle and proceed direct-to the
active waypoint.
To re-center the CDI (HSI) needle to the active
waypoint:
1. Press the direct-to key, followed by ENT
twice.
NOTE: When navigating an approach with the
missed approach point (MAP) as the active way-
point, re-centering the CDI (HSI) needle with the
direct-to key cancels the approach.
