MULTI FUNCTION DISPLAY
7.5 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION
The “Direct-to” function provides a quick method
of setting a course to a destination waypoint. Once a
Direct-to is activated, the G1000 establishes a point-to-
point course line from the present position to the selected
Direct-to destination. If the course change is greater than
30 degrees, a course extension is offset from the present
position to allow a standard rate turn to intercept the
Direct-to course line. Note that the CDI (HSI) needle will
not be immediately centered in this case. Direct-to course
guidance is provided until the Direct-to is cancelled or
replaced by a new destination, and the navigation data is
displayed on the Navigation Map Page

To select a Direct-to destination:
1. Press the
Direct-to
key. The Direct-to page
is displayed with the destination field high-
lighted.
2. Turn the
small FMS
knob to enter the first letter
of the destination waypoint identifier. The
destination waypoint may be an airport, VOR,
NDB, intersection or user waypoint, as long as
it is in the database or stored in memory as a
user waypoint. Turn the
large FMS
knob to the
right to move the cursor to the next character
position.
3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to spell out the rest of
the waypoint identifier.
4. Press the
ENT
key to confirm the identifier. The
‘Activate?’ field is highlighted.
5. Press the
ENT
key to activate a Direct-to course
to the selected destination.
If navigating to a waypoint and the aircraft moves off
course, the Direct-to feature can be used to re-center the
CDI (HSI) needle and proceed to the same waypoint.
To re-center the CDI (HSI) needle to the
same destination waypoint:
Press the
Direct-to
key, followed by press-
ing the
ENT
key twice. NOTE: If navigating
an approach with the missed approach point
(MAP) as the current destination, re-centering
the CDI (HSI) needle with the
Direct-to
key
cancels the approach.
