A suppressed waypoint (designated by brackets) is an airport associated
with an IFR or VFR approach procedure. After an approach procedure is
activated, the associated airport is no longer part of the active flight plan for
guidance purposes. However, the associated airport is still shown in the
nav log for it to be highlighted for information or to activate other procedures
to the airport. Since only one approach may be active at any given time,
only one waypoint may be suppressed by adding an Instrument approach
procedure at any given time.
NOTE:
Adding a STAR procedure with no instrument approach nor SID does not
suppress the airport waypoint. Adding a STAR to a different airport in the
active flight plan does not change the original suppressed waypoint
airport.
Figure 7-1: Suppressed Waypoint
It is possible to add a departure procedure to another airport within an
active flight plan and have two suppressed waypoints within the same
active flight plan.
