Direct/Intercept

INTRODUCTION

The DIRECT, PATTERN, or INTERCEPT functions are accessed by
pushing the direct (DIR) key. When the active flight plan is not being
displayed when the DIR key is pushed, page 1 of the active flight plan
is displayed. When the active flight plan is already displayed while
pushing the DIR key, the display remains on the current page of the
active flight plan. Pushing the DIR key inserts three prompts, as shown
in Figure 9--1, on the ACTIVE FLT PLAN pages. The three prompts are
as follows:
1. DIRECT (1L)
2. PATTERN (6L)
3. INTERCEPT (6R)
The three prompts are used to call up the respective function of the flight
management system (FMS). They remain displayed while paging
through the active flight plan.
