Nesis — User’s Manual 4.4 Route Selection
4.4 Route Selection
This section describes how to activate and manipulate an existing route. It is assumed that
the route was already created. The route planning is described in the section 5.4 on page 30
and in the section 6.1 on page 33.
The route functions are accessed via the
Route
menu button. Depending on the current
situation, the button opens two different dialogs. If there was no active route, Nesis opens
the route selection dialog. However, if some route is already active, Nesis opens the route
manipulation dialog. Both options are described next.
4.4.1 Activating a Route
With no active route, the
Route
button opens the dialog shown on figure 21. This dialog
displays all existing routes. Routes are sorted alphabetically.
ˆ
Turn the knob to select a route and press the
OK
or
Activate
button to activate it.
ˆ
Press the
Cancel
button to close the route selection dialog.
Figure 21: Selection of a Route.
When a route is activated any previous active waypoint is deactivated. According to the
airplane position, Nesis first tries to activate the starting waypoint in the Route. Direct to
is used in this case. However, when Nesis determines that airplane position fits into one of
the route legs, the leg mode is activated showing the remaining part of the leg to fly.
The above assumption may not be suitable for every situation and we need a mechanism to
select either a different route leg or a different route waypoint.
4.4.2 Route Manipulation
When a route is already active, the
Route
button brings up the route manipulation dialog
shown on figure 22. This dialog allows change of currently active route waypoint. It also
allows to deactivate the route completely.
ˆ
Use the knob to select a route waypoint.
ˆ
The
Select Leg
button selects a leg on the route that leads to the selected waypoint.
Nesis switches to the route mode guiding you to follow the selected leg.
ˆ
The
Direct To
button guides you to the selected waypoint in the direct to mode.
ˆ
Press the
Deactivate
button to deactivate the route.
