FMS Subsystem 3-19
The default value for the crossing distance is 5.0nm for airports
and 0.0nm for all other waypoints.
The only waypoints that do not permit altitude constraints are:
Origin
Destination, if it has an approach selected
Missed Approach Point
Altitude Terminated Legs
Altitude constraints are used to drive enroute VNAV functions
(see page 6-36).
DIRECT-TO
"Direct To" clearances are sometimes issued to waypoints that
are not currently in the flight plan, but often are issued as
shortcuts to waypoints that have already been planned. The FMS
seamlessly handles both of those situations using the Direct-To
key to perform either an "offpath direct-to" or an "onpath direct-
to", respectively. Whether a direct-to is onpath or offpath is
determined by the FMS. However, it is important for the pilot to
recognize the difference because the effect on the flight plan
differs.
Selecting the direct-to waypoint
In either case, the process is started by pressing the dedicated
Direct-To key on the IFD bezel. At that point, a green dialog box
appears and is populated with a waypoint identifier, determined
as follows:
If the currently displayed page is an FMS page
specifically denoting an eligible fix, the identifier of the fix
If the currently displayed page is not an FMS page or it
does not specifically denote an eligible fix, and the flight
plan has at least one leg, the identifier associated with
the leg surrounded by the cursor on the FPL page
The identifier of the closest airport
* an eligible fix is an Airport, VOR, NDB, Intersection, or
User Waypoint.
