Direct-To Navigation
The 400W-series direct-to function provides a
quick method of setting a course to a destination
waypoint. Once a direct-to is activated, the 400W-
series will establish a point-to-point course line (geo-
desic path) from your present position to the selected
direct-to destination. Navigation data on the various
NAV pages will provide steering guidance until the
direct-to is cancelled or replaced by a new destination.
To select a direct-to destination:
1. Press the direct-to key. The select direct-to
waypoint page will appear, with the waypoint
identifier field highlighted.

enter the identifier of the desired destination
waypoint.
3. Press ENT to confirm the selected waypoint,
and ENT again to activate the direct-to func-
tion.
If you're navigating to a waypoint and get off
course, the direct-to function may also be used to re-
center the CDI (HSI) needle and proceed to the same
waypoint.
To re-center the CDI (HSI) needle to the same
destination waypoint:
1. Press the direct-to key, followed by pressing
ENT twice.
NOTE: If you're navigating an approach with the
missed approach point (MAP) as the current des-
tination, re-centering the CDI (HSI) needle with
the direct-to key will cancel the approach.
