OPERATOR’S MANUAL
CMA-9000 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
ROUTE DISCONTINUITIES
Under normal conditions, the active route will form a continuous path of linked waypoints (legs). However, a
ROUTE DISCONTINUITY will be inserted into the flight plan if the end of a leg is indeterminate, or when the
entered waypoint is not part of the existing active flight plan.
Under these conditions, “THEN” followed by a boxed data field and ROUTE DISCONTINUITY lines are inserted
immediately after the new waypoint. Along-track waypoints do not create a ROUTE DISCONTINUITY.

A ROUTE DISCONTINUITY can be inserted into the flight plan by selecting RTE DISCON on the INIT/REF 2/2
page. The active or inactive RTE x LEGS page will be displayed with "
" in the scratchpad. Insert the
"
" into the flight plan by pressing the appropriate left LSK. The ROUTE DISCONTINUITY will be inserted
before the selected waypoint.
ROUTE DISCONTINUITY CLOSE-UP
CAUTION: Close-ups can occur only upwards, e.g. moving a downtrack waypoint to an earlier location. Moving a
waypoint downwards (e.g. to a later location) causes the waypoint to be DUPLICATED into the new
location.
With ACT (or MOD) LEGS page displayed showing "THEN" and "ROUTE DISCONTINUITY" lines:
1. Display the next desired waypoint in the route by pressing [NEXT] as required.
2 Key in, or copy the waypoint identifier into the scratchpad by pressing the appropriate LSK.
3. Display the page with the THEN box data field by pressing [PREV] as often as required.
4. Move the waypoint to the THEN field by pressing the appropriate LSK.
5. Verify the entry by checking course and distance of the previous and next legs.
6. Make the modified route active by pressing [EXEC].
NOTE: To minimize keystrokes, the close-up of a route discontinuity should be performed before EXECuting
the route modification which causes it.
