Course From (CrsFr)
The Course From operation allows you to navigate from a waypoint on a pre-defined course. The default
course for the Course From operation will depend on whether your aircraft is heading toward the selected
waypoint or away from it. If your aircraft is heading toward the selected waypoint, the default course will be
the bearing from the present position to the selected waypoint. If you are heading away from the waypoint,
the default course will be the bearing from the waypoint to your present position. The length of the magenta
course line will always be 100 nm.
When the Course From operation is executed, the To-From indicator will indicate FROM and the flightplan
will go into suspend mode (SUSP); it will not automatically sequence the flightplan waypoints. To rejoin your
flight plan, highlight a waypoint in your active flight plan and either press the Direct or FlyLeg menu item
keys.
