TO WAYPOINT:

Prefills with current TO
Waypoint or is enterable
(from one to six alphanumer-
ic characters). (Figure 2-65)

NOTE: With the cursor over
the TO Waypoint field, using
the BACK Key will step
through to the end of the
Active Flight Plan waypoints.
The system will identify an IAF, ARC, PT, HP, FCF, FAF or MAP
waypoint above the TO Waypoint field.

DTK:

Desired track is the Great Circle course in whole degrees between
the FROM and TO waypoints from Navigation Page 1. (Figure 2-65)
If the system is displaying Direct TO a waypoint, the DTK will be from
present position to the current TO waypoint.

NOTE: If the default desired track is changed, a Pseudo Vortac
(selected course) leg will be programmed on the NAVIGATION 1/4
Page.

INTERCEPT Messages:

If the Intercept Mode is programmed one of the following messages
may appear. (Figure 2-65)

• INTERCEPT BEYOND FIX indicates the commanded heading will
cause the aircraft to intercept the programmed course on the FROM
side of the fix.

• NO COURSE INTERCEPT indicates the commanded heading will
cause the aircraft to diverge from the programmed course (crosstrack
deviation will increase).

• No Message indicates an intercept is not programmed, or the com-
manded heading will intercept the programmed course prior to the fix.
(The TO side of the fix)

• NO ARC INTERCEPT indicates commanded heading will not inter-
cept the arc programmed on the approach procedure.

OK? ENT:

The procedure for accepting the entered heading, TO waypoint or
DTK is to depress the ENT Key. (Figure 2-65)
