h) Press the ENT Key twice to activate the direct-to.  Note, in Figure 5-124, the magenta arrow indicating the 
direct-to OPSHN after the offset waypoint for OPSHN.  The preceding offset waypoint indicates the offset 
distance and altitude that were previously entered.  The remaining waypoints in the loaded arrival procedure 
have no database specified altitudes, therefore, dashes are displayed.  Keep the CDI...

13) Note the altitude constraints associated with each of the approach waypoints as seen in Figure 5-130.  These 
altitudes are loaded from the database and are initially displayed as white text, indicating these values are not 
used in computing vertical deviation guidance.  The altitude values must be designated for use by the pilot if 
they are to be used in computing vertical guidance.
a) Press the FMS Knob to...

   Altitude constraint values associated with the Final Approach Fix (FAF) and waypoints beyond the FAF cannot 
be designated for vertical guidance.  These altitude values are always displayed as white text.  Vertical guidance 
from the FAF and on to the Missed Approach Point (MAP) is given using the WAAS GPS altitude source, therefore, 
the displayed altitude values are for reference only.

14) As the aircraft approaches OPSHN, it may be desirable to adjust the speed, or steepness of the upcoming 
descent.  The default Flight Path Angle (FPA) is -3.0 degrees and a required vertical speed is computed to 
maintain the -3.0 FPA.  To change the vertical flight path, perform the following steps.
a) Select the VNV PROF Softkey to place the cursor in the target vertical speed field (VS TGT) as shown in...

15) As seen in Figure 5-134, the aircraft is approaching TOD.  Note the target vertical speed required to reached 
the selected altitude.  The Vertical Deviation Indicator (VDI) and the Required Vertical Speed Indicator (RVSI) are 
now displayed on the PFD as shown in Figure 5-135.  When the aircraft is within one minute of the TOD, it is 
annunciated as shown in Figure 5-135, and an aural alert ‘Vertical track’...

16) Upon reaching TOD, a descent vertical speed is established by placing the VSI pointer in line with the RVSI as 
shown in Figure 5-136.

18) The aircraft is approaching OPSHN.  The upcoming turn and next heading are annunciated at the top left of the 
PFD as seen in Figure 5-138.  Initiate the turn and maneuver the aircraft on a track through the turn radius to 
intercept the magenta line for the OPSHN to FSHER leg and center the CDI.
