Enter a New Waypoint into a Flight Plan

While on a flight plan, you may want to temporarily go to a new waypoint to look at something or you may be directed by ATC. By using Direct-To, you can add this new waypoint into your existing flight plan. This way your flight plan is essentially unchanged, but you were still able to react quickly to new conditions.

Note

Make sure your Direct-To Entry Option is set to “Never Clears,” or your active flight plan will be deleted if the Direct-To waypoint isn’t in your active flight plan. See page 8 for details.
