ALONG TRACK WAYPOINT IDENTIFIER LABELS
Enabling the altitude constraint function in the Map Setup menu adds a VNAV
altitude reference to the flight plan. The ATK serves as a lateral checkpoint when the
feature is off.
ALTITUDE CONSTRAINT LABELS
The along track waypoint (ATK) icon represents a temporary lateral
position (or checkpoint) relative to an existing waypoint in the flight
plan.

ATK Icon
Identifier labels on the Map page denote
the adjacent waypoint’s ID and offset
distance from the specified ATK.
Selecting an ATK displays its bearing and
distance in the info banner.
Unlike waypoints, ATKs
indicate a temporary route fix
in the flight plan. The GDU
receives this data from the
navigator, not a database.

Detail
Altitude constraint data display as text labels on the Map
page. Units are typically feet or meters depending on
current altitude setting in the Units page. They display as
flight level altitudes if specified as such on the navigator.
If excessive labels are cluttering the map, this feature
may be turned off.
