COLLAPSE AIRWAYS FEATURE
'Collapse Airways' is selectable from the Flight Plan Menu if the flight plan contains at least one airway and
the current state is "expanded" (Figure 5-81). In similar fashion, "Expand Airways" will be selectable if the
flight plan contains airways and the current state is "collapsed". When airways have been collapsed, it will
be indicated on the airway heading.

OLLAPSING
On the PFD Flight Plan Window when the airway display has been collapsed, only the Entry and Exit
waypoints of the airway will be shown. When collapsed format is active, leg-to-leg computed values such as
DIS or ETE shown for the exit waypoint reflects the total of all the legs on the airway that have been hidden
in the collapsed display. The DTK value is inhibited because its meaning is not clear in this context.
The "Expanded" format will automatically be selected after the "Load Airway" function is used (facilitates
review of the flight plan).
ACTIVE LEG DISPLAY WITH COLLAPSED AIRWAY ACTIVE
The Flight Plan Page always keeps the following three waypoints visible:
• From Waypoint
• To Waypoint
• Next Waypoint (shows the next course)
To prevent one or more of these waypoints from being hidden in a collapsed airway segment, the airway
segment that contains either the "To" or the "Next" waypoint will be automatically expanded.
INSERTING OPTIONAL AIRWAY WAYPOINTS
Occasionally, the pilot will need to be able to insert one of the "optional" airway waypoints into the flight
plan. To make this easy, they are provided on a list like FPL, NRST and RECENT. The list is called AIRWAY.
To add one of these to the flight plan, place the cursor over and left-click the FMS Knob, select the list which
will have the desired waypoint, select one and press the ENT Key to insert it into the flight plan.
