Original Track
Parallel Track
If the parallel track proposed by the offset direction and distance is not allowed by the system, the activation prompt
is displayed, but disabled. If an approach leg is active, the status indicates that the system is unable to activate the
parallel track with the message 'Parallel Track Unavailable Approach Leg Active'. If the offset direction and distance
results in an unreasonable route geometry (e.g., there is a sharp turn of more than 120 degrees), the status indicates
that the system is unable to activate the parallel track because of invalid geometry ('Parallel Track Unavailable
Invalid Route Geometry'). If the active leg is not a track between two fixes (TF) or a course to a fix (DF) leg, the status
indicates that the system is unable to activate the parallel track because parallel track is not available for the
active leg type ('Parallel Track Unavailable Not Allowed for Active Leg'). Parallel track is also unavailable for a
leg if there are no legs remaining in the flight plan after the given leg, or OBS mode is active
Parallel track will be cancelled if the active leg changes to a leg where one of the preceding is true.
Activation of parallel track will apply from the current position along the flight plan until a leg that does not
meet the criteria for parallel track. Guidance will be computed to return to the original track at the beginning
of that leg.
Cancelling parallel track:
1) Press the FPL Key to display the Active Flight Plan Page (MFD) or the Active Flight Plan Window (PFD).
2) Press the MENU Key, highlight 'Parallel Track', and press the ENT Key. The Parallel Track Window is displayed
with 'Cancel Parallel Track?' highlighted.
3) Press the ENT Key.
