Note

See Direct-To Entry Options on page 8 in the System Functions chapter for details. When the option is set to “May Clear,” your active flight plan is deleted when you use Direct-To for flying to a new destination. If your new Direct-To waypoint is in the active flight plan, the flight plan is not deleted. When the option is set to “Never Clears,” the Direct-To waypoint is inserted into your active flight plan before the current TO waypoint. “May Clear” is the default setting.
