ROUTE NAV
On-Route
Direct-To
To delete a waypoint from the active route:
1. Press
C
twice, if necessary, to activate the cursor.
2. Use
O
to highlight the waypoint you would like to delete from the active route.
3. Press \ , followed by E . The next route waypoint (if available) will move up to take
the position of the deleted waypoint.
The active route page also allows you to select your next destination waypoint
manually from the active route waypoint list and resume the remainder of the route
in sequence. This procedure, referred to as an ‘on-route’ direct-to, allows the pilot
to fly directly to any waypoint in the active route without editing the active route,
approach, SID or STAR itself. For example, if you are flying a route with an armed
approach, the GNC 300XL will automatically provide the initial approach fix (IAF)
for the selected approach as your ‘active to’ waypoint. If you have been vectored
directly to the final approach fix (bypassing the IAF), you can manually “skip ahead”
to the final approach fix as your next active to waypoint.
To perform an on-route direct-to from the active route page:
1. Press
C
twice and rotate
O
to highlight the desired waypoint.
2. Press D , followed by E to confirm the ‘ok?’ prompt on the waypoint
confirmation page.
The GNC 300XL will now provide guidance to the selected waypoint and resume
navigating the remainder of the route in sequence once you arrive at the next destina-
tion waypoint. The waypoint sequencing field, located at the bottom left of the
direct-to confirmation page, indicates the current status of the waypoint sequencing
(GPS SEQ) switch. For more information on the waypoint sequencing switch and
waypoint ‘hold’ operations, see Section 6.

You can hold on a destination waypoint by setting
the GPS SEQ switch to the ‘HOLD’ position. The
GNC 300XL will hold on the current ‘active to’
waypoint as your navigation reference and pre-
vents the unit from sequencing to the next way-
point in the route. A user-defined course may also
be selected on the external HSI (OBS).
Whenever waypoint sequencing is set to ‘hold’, the
desired course is displayed at the bottom left of the
CDI page. See page 64 for more details.
