mode will be to the DIRECT TO point. You will always know when a
DIRECT TO is running because the DIRECT TO key will be labeled

flight plan was previously running underneath it will automatically
resume.
VISUAL DIRECT TO AND DATA INTERROGATION
In MAP mode use the
joystick to move the
pointer to the desired
location, or
distance/bearing from
present position or lati-
tude/longitude. If you
have a ground speed
your Bendix/King unit will
calculate the time to
reach the tip of the on-
screen pointer. This infor-
mation is displayed in the
PETE (or Pointer ETE)
field. If you wish to invoke the DIRECT TO function press the DIRECT
TO key (not available in External GPS Mode). The unit will then provide
you with full navigation information to reach this point. Alternatively if you
wish to obtain more information on a specific data point, whether it is an
airport, a section of controlled airspace or a navaid, move the pointer

which time it will automatically reset. Alternatively you can force a
pointer reset by pressing RESET STICK.
