The Direct To function allows you to perform a short cut whilst flying a flight plan by
skipping over intermediate legs and flying directly to a point further along your planned
flight plan. Once the selected point is reached, the normal flight plan is automatically
resumed.
A black cursor bar is hidden behind the magenta bar that is highlighting the current
destination waypoint. The black cursor is used to select the point to go Direct To. This
cursor can be moved up and down the active flight plan with the joystick.
If a waypoint further down the flight plan is selected then the DIRECT TO key is hit, the unit
will return to the map with a pseudo DIRECT TO running on top of the flight plan to the
selected point. The CDI will be centred and the FROM-TO box will be replaced with a direct
to box. Once the selected point is reached, the normal flight plan is automatically resumed.
This function is very useful if you have been forced off your planned flight plan and wish to
take the flight plan up again at a later turning point. Note that although this is now a direct
routing, it is still to a flight-planned waypoint and therefore the DIRECT TO OFF key is not
shown. To revert to your original flight planned route you can either select DIRECT TO
your original next waypoint or reactivate the flight plan from screen 12.
