Basic Operation

USING DIRECT-TO IN THE ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN

Sometimes it may be desirable to proceed directly to a waypoint in a
flight plan or a specific leg in a flight plan. For example, after takeoff in a
terminal area, vectors may be given followed by a clearance directly to
the first waypoint in the filed flight plan or to intercept a particular leg in
the filed flight plan. A Direct-To can be performed to the waypoint or to
the flight plan leg. After reaching the waypoint or leg the KMD 250 will
automatically begin navigating the active flight plan. If waypoints exist in
the flight plan prior to that which the Direct-To is established, these way-
points will be bypassed. If a Direct-To is established to a waypoint not in
the flight plan, the navigation of the active flight plan will not resume after
the Direct-To waypoint is reached.

NOTE: Remember, the internal GPS of the KMD 250 is not certified for
IFR operation. Navigation of ATC clearances on the KMD 250 can only
be done as a backup to the primary navigation system.
