Approach Basics (GX50/60)

Direct-ToThe Direct-To function is used for several purposes. Especially during approach operations, you should be very comfortable with how this feature works. Review the Direct-To section on page 31 if you need a refresher before proceeding with approaches.

If you select a waypoint that is not one of the waypoints already in the active flight plan, use of Direct-To will automatically unload any active approach if you have crossed the IAF. Use of Direct-To also cancels parallel-track operations, if they are in use.
