Controls and Displays
FMS.30.52
The asterisks displayed in lines 1 and 2 indicate to the flight crew that the
following choices are available by pushing the indicated LSK:
• 1L initiates an immediate direct-to maneuver to the entered waypoint.
• 2L performs the same maneuver with automatic insertion of up to 20
abeam points along the new path. To initiate a direct-to-maneuver with
abeam points, push LSK 2L and observe insertion of abeam points along
the new path.
• 1R enables the aircraft to capture the specified course to the fix.
The DIR TO (1L) or the INTC FIX/CRS (1R) may or may not be an existing flight
plan waypoint. If it is not in the flight plan, a discontinuity will be created just after
the waypoint on the F-PLN page. The discontinuity is cleared by the CLR key. If
the waypoint is an existing flight plan waypoint then the intervening waypoints are
automatically cleared without discontinuity.
When any of the above functions are initiated, the display returns to ACT F-PLN,
page 1. Vertical scrolling does not displace line 1 or line 2 when *WITH ABEAM
POINTS is displayed. The direct-to/intercept page is exited without execution by
use of the other mode keys.
