A ROUTE DISCONTINUITY can be inserted into the flight plan by selecting RTE DISCON (LSK 1R) on the the
DES+SAR or TACTICAL 1/2 or INACT DES+SAR or TACTICAL 2/2 page. The active or inactive RTE x LEGS
page will be displayed with "
" in the scratchpad. Insert the "
" into the flight plan by pressing the
appropriate left LSK. The ROUTE DISCONTINUITY will be inserted before the selected waypoint.
ROUTE DISCONTINUITY CLOSE-UP
CAUTION:
Close-ups can occur only upwards, e.g. moving a downtrack waypoint to an earlier location. Moving a
waypoint downwards (e.g. to a later location) causes the waypoint to be DUPLICATED into the new
location.
With ACT (or MOD) LEGS page displayed showing "THEN" and "ROUTE DISCONTINUITY" lines:
1. Display the next desired waypoint in the route by pressing [NEXT] as required.
2
Key in, or copy the waypoint identifier into the scratchpad by pressing the appropriate LSK.
3. Display the page with the THEN box data field by pressing [PREV] as often as required.
4. Move the waypoint to the THEN field by pressing the appropriate LSK.
5. Verify the entry by checking course and distance of the previous and next legs.
6. Make the modified route active by pressing [EXEC].
NOTE: To minimize keystrokes, the close-up of a route discontinuity should be performed before EXECuting
the route modification which causes it.
WAYPOINT DELETION
A. BY CLOSE-UP METHOD
1. Display the waypoint to be deleted by pressing [LEGS] and [NEXT] or [PREV] as required.
2. Copy the waypoint identifier following the one to be deleted into the scratchpad by pressing the
appropriate LSK.
3. Move the waypoint to the location of the waypoint to be deleted by pressing the appropriate LSK.
The selected waypoint is deleted from the route.
4. Verify the entry by checking the course and distance of the previous and next legs.
5. Make the modified route active by pressing [EXEC].
NOTE: In this case, a ROUTE DISCONTINUITY is not created.
"Close up" is the simplest method to delete a number of consecutive waypoints, but this can also be performed
by a series of [CLR] key operations.
