up a user-defined holding pattern, sequence directly to a selected leg in your flight plan, and fly a Course To or
Course From a selected waypoint.

ActFP

Press the ActFP key to select a given leg from the active flight plan. Turn the Large knob to highlight
waypoints in your flight plan.

waypoint.

Direct

The Direct Menu selection key activates the direct course to the displayed waypoint.
1. When you press Direct-To, the default waypoint shown will be the highlighted waypoint in your flight
plan (unless another waypoint is highlighted in another operation, then that waypoint would be used).
You can turn the Large knob to select a different leg in your flight plan.
2. You may select a waypoint that is not in your flight plan by pressing the DB key and then use the Large
and Small knobs.
3. Press the Direct key to navigate directly to the selected waypoint.
NOTE: Going Direct-To a waypoint does not make a destination. The GNS 480 must know what
the active destination is in order to retrieve the appropriate terminal procedures and approaches.
Also, the DEST function deletes the active flight plan.
See page 17 for quick methods for setting up a flight plan.
