Sequencing Details
When manually selecting a flight plan leg, you must be aware of the
rules for sequencing. A flight plan will sequence to the next leg of the
flight plan if the aircraft is on the "FROM" side of a line drawn through
the "TO" waypoint perpendicular to the desired inbound course to that
waypoint. If you manually select a leg that you have already passed,
the NMS will immediately sequence to the next leg. There are times,
such as when flying a DME-ARC to intercept a leg, that you will want
to select a leg that according to the rule for sequencing you are already
past. In order to keep the NMS from immediately sequencing when
such a leg is selected, place your flight plan on hold by pressing the
OBS/HLD button prior to selecting the leg. It is then necessary to
re-enable sequencing, by pressing the OBS/HLD button again, when
established inbound on the desired leg.
When approaching LANKS intersection, we will want to select the
flight plan leg of D333O to OED11. This is the inbound course that we
want to intercept. We will use the DME-Arc page to navigate the arc.
See DME-Arc Procedure section.
