3.10.1. INITIATING A DIRECT TO

Now that you know the ground rules, let’s go ahead and try some practical
examples. First, let’s say we wanted to fly directly to Lovell Airport in
Chattanooga, TN. Its ICAO identifier is KCHA.

To fly Direct To a waypoint (procedure 1):

1.

Press

D. The Direct To page

is displayed (figure 3-95). The
cursor will already be on. A way-
point identifier may or may not
be displayed, it doesn’t matter at
this point.

2.

Rotate the right inner knob to
select the first character of the
desired waypoint’s identifier, in
this case, a “K” (figure 3-96).
Remember to enter the “K”, “C”,
or “P” prefix for certain airports in
North America, if required (see
section 2.3, “ICAO Identifiers”).

3.

Turn the right outer knob one
click clockwise to move the
flashing portion of the cursor
over the second character posi-
tion (figure 3-97).

4.

Rotate the right inner knob to
select the second character of
the identifier (figure 3-98).

5.

Use the right outer and inner
knobs as in the previous steps
until the desired identifier is com-
pletely displayed (figure 3-99).

6.

Press

F to display the way-

point page for the selected
waypoint (figure 3-100).
