ADVANCED FMC ROUTE MODIFICATIONS

After passing the MISGO intersection fix let’s pretend ATC gives us a

small shortcut in our route, allowing us to bypass the Germinghausen

(GMH) VOR and go direct to TESGA intersection. This is commonly

called “cutting the corner” in ATC to pilot lingo.

“Precision 738, cleared direct TESGA.”

 Press LSK 2L to copy TESGA into the scratchpad.

 Now press LSK 1L to enter TESGA over top of the currently

active waypoint. This is the procedure for setting up a direct to.

 Verify the modification on the LEGS page and on the ND. If

something were to appear, you’d be able to revert the

modification by using the ERASE prompt at LSK 6L.

 Press the illuminated EXEC key to execute the modification. The

plane will immediately begin a turn direct to TESGA.
