Approach Topics
Direct-To
The Direct-To function is used for several purposes. Especially during
approach operations, you should be very comfortable with how this
feature works. Review the Direct-To section of the manual if you need
a refresher before proceeding with approaches.
In general:
Pressing DIRECT-TO once allows you
to select a waypoint that you will
navigate “Direct-To.” The first character
will flash as the NMS is ready for you to
select a waypoint to fly “Direct-To.”

Pressing DIRECT-TO a second time
allows entry of a desired inbound course
tothe current activewaypoint. Entering a
desired inbound course to a waypoint
automatically suspends leg-sequencing
at that waypoint and lights the
OBS/HLD annunciator.

Subsequent pressing of DIRECT-TO
toggles between the two first uses.
The Direct-To feature defaults to the current active waypoint, the
current displayed waypoint, or in FLIGHT PLAN mode, the waypoint
displayed on the “TO” side of any displayed flight plan leg.
If the Direct-To is used during approach operations, and you select a
waypoint that is not one of the waypoints already in the active flight
plan, use of Direct-To will automatically unload any active approach.
Use of Direct-To cancels parallel-track operations, if they are in use.
