5.6 DIRECT-TO NAVIGATION USING THE G3X
NOTE:
The G3X
Direct-to
Key is disabled while using an external GPS naviga-
tor. Press the
INTERNAL
Softkey on the Direct-to Page to make changes to
the active flight plan from the G3X. Press the
EXTERNAL
Softkey to return
to the external GPS navigator’s flight plan.
The Direct-to method of navigation, initiated by pressing the
Direct-to
Key is
quicker to use than a flight plan when the desire is to navigate to a single point such
as a nearby airport.
Once a direct-to is activated, the G3X establishes a point-to-point course line from
the present position to the selected direct-to destination. Course guidance is provided
until the direct-to is replaced with a new direct-to or flight plan, or cancelled.
Entering a waypoint identifier, facility name, or city as a direct-to
destination:
1)
Press the
Direct-to
Key. The Direct-to Window is displayed (with the active
flight plan waypoint as the default selection or a blank waypoint field if no
flight plan is active).
2)
If an external navigator is configured, press the
INTERNAL
Softkey.
3)
Turn the
FMS
Joystick clockwise to begin entering a waypoint identifier
(turning it counter-clockwise brings up the waypoint selection submenu -
press the
CLR
Key or the
FMS
Joystick to remove it), press the
RECENT
Softkey to display a list of recent waypoints, or move the
FMS
Joystick to
select the facility name, or city field.
4)
Press the
ENT
Key.
5)
With ‘Activate’ highlighted, press the
ENT
Key.
