[SOLVED] STARS and DIR

[dan]

This is just a general question on procedures and not a bug...

Let's say you're flying a STAR and ATC gives you instructions to fly direct to your the last point on the STAR instead of following every point, what is the correct procedure to re-program the FMC to fly direct to the another point?

The only way I've found that seems to work is to delete every point between my current position and the point I want to fly direct to. Is that correct or is there another way?

you could do two things:

insert the point where you want to fly on next point.. and automatically other waypoints would be deleted.

or you can delete all the waypoints between where the plane is and that waypoint.

it is explained in the tutorial.

You can copy the waypoint where you want to go in the scratchpad, and insert it in the active position, and the FMS will delete all intermediate waypoints by itself, just like the real thing.
