5.5 direct-to navigation
The Direct-to method of navigation, initiated by touching the Direct To Button on the Touchscreen Controller,
or by pressing the ¯ Button on the GDU Controller, is quicker to use than a flight plan when needing to
navigate to a single point such as a nearby airport.
Once a direct-to is activated, the system establishes a point-to-point course line from the present position to the
selected direct-to destination. Course guidance is provided until the direct-to is replaced with a new direct-to or
flight plan, or cancelled.
A vertical navigation (VNAV) direct-to creates a descent path (and provides guidance to stay on the path) from
the current altitude to a selected altitude at the direct-to waypoint. Vertical navigation is based on barometric
altitudes, not on GPS altitude, and is used for cruise and descent phases of flight.
The Direct-to Window on the PFD and the Direct To Screen on the Touchscreen Controller allows selection and
activation of direct-to navigation, and displays selected direct-to waypoint data on the PFD and the Touchscreen
Controller. Any waypoint can be entered as a direct-to destination.
