Waypoint name is shaded white until executed.
OED waypoint entered into the route after BTG. Modification creates a route
discontinuity because OED was not in active route. The FMC now requires
routing beyond OED.
Discontinuity is removed when applicable waypoint is entered in boxes.
Push – removes all modifications and shows active data.
Displays when the FMC contains modified data.
Removed when selected or modifications executed.
Line title separates route segments when there is a discontinuity.
Note: Performance predictions to destination on the PROGRESS page are
calculated assuming the route of flight is direct between waypoints on
either side of a route discontinuity.
Delete Waypoints
Use the RTE LEGS page to remove waypoints from the route. The active
waypoint can not be deleted. Two methods to remove a waypoint are:
• delete the waypoint with the DELETE function key
• change the waypoint’s sequence
The data in the route before and after the deleted waypoint does not change. A
discontinuity is put in the route when the DELETE function key is used to remove
a waypoint.
