Direct to

in Operational questions

Hi,

Today I did a flight on the VATSIM network and was told to go direct to a waypoint. I couldn't figure out how to do that within the FMC. I looked up the heading of the waypoint and switched from LNAV to HDG. That action brought some problems with descending on VNAV, which doesn't work with the HDG function. So in short, how do I do a direct to waypoint within LNAV mode.

    Click on the FMS's DTO button (which stands for DirectTO). You will see a list of all waypoints in your (initial) flightplan. Find the one you want to fly to (you may need to use the NEXT button to see the entire list), type the number of the waypoint into the FMS and click Enter. As soon as you click Enter the FMS will switch to the NAV page and (if you are flying in LNAV) you will immediately turn towards the waypoint.

    I always repeat the procedure for the right (Co-Pilot's) FMS too.
