Selecting  a Waypoint
Section 3   
Direct-To Navigation
The direct-to function provides a quick method of 
setting a course to a waypoint. Once a direct-to is acti-
vated, the unit will establish a point-to-point course 
line (geodesic path) from your present position to 
the selected direct-to waypoint. The unit will provide 
navigation guidance to the selected direct-to waypoint 
until the direct-to is manually cancelled or replaced by 
a new active leg or direct-to. 
To select a direct-to waypoint: 
1.  Press  the direct-to key. The select direct-to 
waypoint page will appear, with the waypoint 
identifier field highlighted. 
2.  Use  the small and large right knobs to 
enter the identifier of the desired direct-to 
waypoint. 
3.  Press ENT to confirm the selected waypoint, 
and ENT again to activate the direct-to func-
tion. 
If you’re navigating to a waypoint and get off 
course, the direct-to function may also be used to re-
center the CDI (HSI) needle and proceed direct-to the 
active waypoint. 
To re-center the CDI (HSI) needle to the active 
waypoint: 
1.    Press  the direct-to key, followed by pressing 
ENT twice. 
 NOTE:  If you’re navigating an approach with 
the missed approach point (MAP) as the active 
waypoint, re-centering the CDI (HSI) needle with 
the direct-to key will cancel the approach.

Selecting the Nearest Airport as a Direct-To 
Waypoint
The select direct-to waypoint page always displays 
the nearest airports (from your present position) on 
the NRST field. Navigating directly to a nearby airport 
is always just a few simple steps away. (Nearby airports 
may also be selected as direct-to waypoints using the 
steps described Section 7 - NRST Pages - Navigating to 
a Nearby Waypoint.)

Shortcuts
Shortcuts are available when using the direct-to 
key, allowing you to bypass the use of the small and 
large right knobs to enter the waypoint’s identifier. A 
direct-to can be performed from any page displaying 
a single waypoint identifier (such as the WPT pages 
for airports and navaids) by simply pressing direct-to 
and ENT. For pages that display a list of waypoints 
(e.g., the nearest airport page), you must highlight the 
desired waypoint with the cursor before pressing the 
direct-to key. 
To select an on-screen waypoint (other than the 
map page) as a direct-to waypoint: 
1.   If a single airport, navaid or user waypoint is 
displayed on-screen: press direct-to, then 
press ENT twice. 
2.   If a list of waypoints is displayed on-screen: 
press the small right knob to activate the 
cursor, turn the large right knob to highlight 
the desired waypoint, then press direct-to 
followed by ENT twice. 
Direct-to waypoints may also be selected from 
the map page, by panning to the desired location 
and pressing direct-to and ENT (twice). If no air-
port, navaid or user waypoint exists at the desired 
location, a waypoint named “+MAP” will auto-
matically be created at the location of the panning 
pointer. 
To select a direct-to waypoint from the map page: 
1.  From the map page, press the small right 
knob to display a panning pointer. 
2.  Turn the small and large right knobs to place 
the panning pointer at the desired location. 
3.   If the panning pointer is placed on an existing 
airport, navaid or user waypoint, the waypoint 
name will be highlighted. Press direct-to  and  
then ENT twice to navigate to the waypoint. 
4.   If the panning pointer is placed on an open 
location, press direct-to and ENT twice to  
create a “+MAP” waypoint and navigate to 
it.

Flight Plan Catalog
Section 4  
Flight Plans
The 400W-series lets you create up to 20 different 
flight plans, with up to 100 waypoints in each flight 
plan. The flight plan page group consists of two pages, 
accessed by pressing the FPL key. The Active Flight 
Plan page shows the legs and details in the active flight 
plan. The Flight Plan Catalog contains flight plans that 
you have created and saved for future use. The flight 
plan pages allow you to create, edit and copy flight 
plans. There are separate options available in both the 
Active Flight Plan page and the Flight Catalog page. 
Active Flight Plan PageFlight Plan Catalog Page

numbered from 1 through 19 are used to save flight 
plans for future use. “Flight plan 00” is reserved exclu-
sively for the flight plan currently in use for naviga-
tion. Any time you activate a flight plan, a copy of the 
flight plan is automatically transferred to “flight plan 
00” and overwrites any previously active flight plan.
