Select a New Destination Airport Using Direct-To
(Method 1)
Most often, the easiest way will be to edit and modify the current active
flight plan. Remember that if you want to select an approach for the new
destination, it must be the last waypoint in your active flight plan. If you
use DIRECT-TO to select a new destination, edit the active flight plan and
delete any subsequent waypoints before attempting to load an approach
for the new destination. If you do use DIRECT-TO and you select a
waypoint not currently in the active plan, any currently loaded approach
will automatically be unloaded if you are within one of the approach legs
of the flight plan.
Some people may choose the “Clear Waypoints” option on the main flight
plan page prior to selecting a new Direct-to waypoint. While this
guarantees that the new selected destination is the last waypoint in the
flight plan, it will also result in a Nav-Flagged condition immediately after
“delete waypoints” is selected. This is because the Apollo NMS has no
waypoint to navigate to. Therefore, all navigation data is invalid until you
select a new “TO” waypoint.
Select a New Destination by Activating Another Flight
plan
(Method 2)
You may also select another stored flight plan to your new destination and
activate it. Activating a stored flight plan copies it into the active plan.
Repeat the Same Approach or Select Another Approach at
the Same Airport
