Selecting a Waypoint

The direct-to function provides a quick method of 

setting a course to a waypoint. Once a direct-to is acti-
vated, the unit will establish a point-to-point course 
line (geodesic path) from your present position to 
the selected direct-to waypoint. The unit will provide 
navigation guidance to the selected direct-to waypoint 
until the direct-to is manually cancelled or replaced by 
a new active leg or direct-to. 

1.   Press the direct-to key. The select direct-to 

waypoint page will appear, with the waypoint 
identifier field highlighted. 

2.   Use  the  small  and  large  right  knobs  to 

enter  the  identifier  of  the  desired  direct-to 
waypoint. 

3.   Press ENT to confirm the selected waypoint, 

and ENT again to activate the direct-to func-
tion. 

If you’re navigating to a waypoint and get off 

course, the direct-to function may also be used to re-
center the CDI (HSI) needle and proceed direct-to the
active waypoint. 

1.    Press the direct-to key, followed by pressing 

ENT twice. 

 

NOTE: If you’re navigating an approach with 
the missed approach point (MAP) as the active 
waypoint, re-centering the CDI (HSI) needle with 
the direct-to key will cancel the approach.
