INTCPT..........................Check
If NAV blue is displayed, on ND:
− The RADIAL IN changes momentarily to
a dashed green line then, if HDG is
suitable for intercept, pseudo-WPT
INTCPT point is computed; track is
displayed by a solid green line,
− NAV mode will engage just before
reaching it to perform the interception,
unless another lateral mode is selected,
e.g. APP or LOC.
If NAV blue is not displayed the RADIAL IN
remains displayed by a dashed green line.
See Part III: Multiphase - DIR TO function.
Note:
Use of DIR TO function, without RADIAL IN, to clear unwanted WPTs,
causes immediate engagement of NAV mode. It should therefore only
be used if there is no heading restriction.
