SECTION 4: DIRECT-TO

NAVIGATION

4.1 OVERVIEW

The GNS 530’s direct-to function provides a quick

method of setting a course to a destination waypoint.

Once a direct-to is activated, the GNS 530 establishes a

point-to-point course line (great circle) from the present

position to the selected direct-to destination. Navigation

data on the various NAV pages provides steering guidance

until the direct-to is cancelled or replaced by a new

destination.

Selecting a direct-to destination:

1) Press the Direct-to Key. The Select Direct-to

Waypoint Page appears (Figure 4-1), with the

waypoint identiﬁer ﬁeld highlighted.

Figure 4-1 Select Direct-to Waypoint Page

2) Use the small and large right knobs to

enter the identiﬁer of the desired destination

waypoint (Figure 4-2).

3) Press the ENT Key to confirm the selected

waypoint, and press the ENT Key again to

activate the direct-to function (Figure 4-3).

Figure 4-3 ‘Activate?’ Field Highlighted

When off course while navigating to a waypoint, the

direct-to function may also be used to re-center the CDI

(HSI) needle and proceed to the same waypoint.

Re-centering the CDI (HSI) needle to the

same destination waypoint:

Press the Direct-to Key, followed by the ENT

Key twice.

NOTE: When navigating an approach with the

missed approach point (MAP) as the current

destination, re-centering the CDI (HSI) needle

with the Direct-to Key cancels the approach.
