When navigating a direct-to, the G1000 sets a direct great circle course to the selected destination. The course
to a destination can also be manually selected using the course field (‘COURSE’) on the Direct-to Window.
Selecting a manual direct-to course:
1)
Press the
Direct-to
Key. The Direct-to Window is displayed with the destination field highlighted.
2)
Highlight the course field.
3)
Enter the desired course.
4)
Press the
ENT
Key. The cursor is now displayed on ‘ACTIVATE?’.
5)
Press the
ENT
Key again to activate the direct-to.
Reselecting the direct course from the current position:
1)
Press the
Direct-to
Key. The Direct-to Window is displayed with the destination field highlighted.
2)
Press the
ENT
Key. The cursor is now displayed on ‘ACTIVATE?’.
3)
Press the
ENT
Key again to activate the direct-to.
A direct-to with altitude constraints creates a descent path (and provides guidance to stay on the path) from the
aircraft’s current altitude to the altitude of the direct-to waypoint. The altitude is reached at the waypoint, or at the
specified distance along the flight path if an offset distance has been entered. All VNV altitudes prior to the direct-
to destination are removed from the active flight plan upon successful activation of a direct-to destination that is
part of the active flight plan. All VNV altitudes following the direct-to waypoint are retained. See the section on
Vertical Navigation for more information regarding the use and purpose of VNV altitudes and offset distances.
