Basic Operation
DIRECT-TO OPERATION
The Direct-To Key initiates operation directly to a destination from the air-
craft’s present position. This destination can be a User Waypoint or any
point defined in the database. It can also be used within an active flight
as discussed later in this section.
The KMD 250 must be navigating using the internal GPS when using the
Direct-To feature. If an external GPS is selected as the current naviga-
tion source, Direct-To will not be accessible on the KMD 250. In this
case the Direct-To operation
must be performed from the
external navigation source.
