System Functions

With the May Clear Direct-To Entry Option, the Direct-To waypoint will be inserted in the Active flight plan, and all of the other waypoints will be deleted from the Active flight plan, including approaches.

With the Never Clears Direct-To option, the Direct-To waypoint is inserted before the current TO waypoint. This is the normal, default setting. Use this setting if you are using approaches.

The May Clear option is useful for the pilot who uses the Direct-To function for the majority of flight planning, and doesn’t want to be bothered with a steadily increasing number of waypoints in the Active flight plan. The Never Clears option is useful when you need to respond to a change ATC clearance (i.e., N1234A cleared direct ABXYZ intersection, rest of route unchanged), resuming the previously entered flight plan at a later time.

The default setting for the Direct-To Entry is May Clear. The Apollo GX retains the last Direct-To Entry Option setting when it is powered up.
