FMS HOOKS
There are shortcuts to accomplish typical FMS actions on the
FPL tab of the FMS page. The bottom LSK will present the most
appropriate selection from the table below based on the flight
state or scenario at the moment. Pressing the LSK or the soft key
label adjacent to the LSK will accomplish the action.
Displayed if either the next downpath approach
in the flight plan is preceded by a discontinuity
(gap in flight plan) and the aircraft is within 40
nm of the FAF OR the next leg of the flight plan
is the first leg of a published approach and
there is a discontinuity or a Vectors-To-Final
approach is selected.
Displayed when the active leg of the flight plan
is part of a published missed approach and
you were conducting a Vectors-To-Final
approach. Selecting this option will activate the
first leg of the VTF approach (i.e. the leg into
the FAF). This option will not be displayed if
you were conducting a full published approach.
Displayed when the next leg of the flight plan is
the first leg of a published missed approach.
Typically this occurs immediately after the
FAF. Pressing the LSK will activate the
published missed approach for that approach if
it is in the flight plan. Not pressing the button
prior to reaching the Missed Approach Point
(MAP) results in guidance outbound from the
MAP using the same course as the final
approach course. The message automatically
toggles to Activate Missed when crossing the
MAP.
Displayed when the active leg of the flight plan
is a hold and is not the last leg of the route.
Pressing the LSK will either command the FMS
to continue the hold or exit it.
