Direct-To Navigation
The GNS 430’s direct-to function provides a quick method of setting a course to a
destination waypoint. Once a direct-to is activated, the GNS 430 will establish a point-
to-point course line (great circle) from your present position to the selected direct-to
destination. Navigation data on the various NAV pages will provide steering guidance
until the direct-to is cancelled or replaced by a new destination.
To select a direct-to destination:
1a. Press the D key. The select direct-to waypoint page will appear, with the waypoint
identifier field highlighted.
2. Use the small ( a ) and large ( d ) right knobs to enter the identifier of the desired
destination waypoint.
3. Press E to confirm the selected waypoint, and E to activate the direct-to function.
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 to the same waypoint.
To re-center the CDI (HSI) needle to the same destination waypoint:
1b. Press the D key, followed by E twice.
