Figure 7-2: Active Flight Plan with Two Suppressed Waypoints
A skipped waypoint is a waypoint associated with a dynamic termination
leg with a zero length. These are either:
1) An altitude termination leg when current aircraft altitude is above the
termination altitude; or
2) System-created (i.e., not NavData® specified) intercept to a “Course
to a Fix” leg where there is insufficient distance to calculate an intercept
heading.
To add a waypoint to the end of the active flight plan, scroll through each
waypoint of the flight plan to one position past the end. If not, the application
makes the selected waypoint active. Otherwise, a list is presented.
Upon selection of a waypoint from the selection list, the EFIS checks
whether the selected waypoint meets the criteria for waypoint activation,
manual VNAV parameter entry, custom holding pattern entry, SAR pattern
entry, SAR pattern segment selection, manual overfly characterization,
VFR approach entry, IFR approach entry, STAR entry, or DP entry. If it
does, a list is presented as follows:
1)
