The arrival message is generated when you are within 36 seconds of arrival at the current TO waypoint, except when turn anticipation is active. The arrival message is cleared after viewing it; it does not become an old message after viewing. The arrival condition will also go away without viewing the message after crossing the angle bisector. In the example below, WPT 2 is the TO waypoint. When the aircraft crosses the dotted line, WPT 3 will become the TO waypoint.

This form of the Arrival Alert is provided when not holding at the current TO waypoint. When flying an approach DME Arc, then waypoint is automatically placed on hold. The hold is automatically removed upon arriving at the TO waypoint, prior to receiving the arrival alert.
