To delete a waypoint from the active route:
1. Press
C
, if necessary, to activate the cursor.
2. Use
O
to highlight the waypoint you would like to delete from the active route.
3. Press
\
, followed by
E
. The next route waypoint (if available) will move up to take
the position of the deleted waypoint.
The active route page also allows you to select your next destination waypoint man-
ually from the active route waypoint list and resume the remainder of the route in
sequence. This procedure, referred to as an ‘on-route’ direct-to, allows the pilot to fly
directly to any waypoint in the active route without editing the active route, approach,
SID or STAR itself. For example, if you are flying a route with an armed approach, the
GPS 155XL will automatically provide the initial approach fix (IAF) for the selected
approach as your ‘active to’ waypoint. If you have been vectored directly to the final
approach fix (bypassing the IAF), you can manually “skip ahead” to the final approach
fix as your next active to waypoint.
To perform an on-route direct-to from the active route page:
1. Press C and rotate O to highlight the desired waypoint.
2. Press D , followed by E to confirm the ‘ok?’ prompt on the waypoint
confirmation page.
The GPS 155XL will now provide guidance to the selected waypoint and resume
navigating the remainder of the route in sequence once you arrive at the next destina-
tion waypoint. The waypoint sequencing field, located at the bottom left of the
direct-to confirmation page, indicates the current status of the waypoint sequencing
(GPS SEQ) switch. For more information on the waypoint sequencing switch and way-
point ‘hold’ operations, see Section 5.
Whenever waypoint sequencing is set to ‘hold’, the
desired course is displayed at the bottom left of the
NAV summary page. See page 60 for more details.
You can hold on a destination waypoint by setting
the GPS SEQ switch to the ‘HOLD’ position. The
GPS 155XL will hold on the current ‘active to’
waypoint as your navigation reference and pre-
vents the unit from sequencing to the next way-
point in the route. A user-defined course may also
be selected on the external HSI (OBS).
