Flying and Modifying the Active RouteOnce a route has been created and activated, the GNC 250 will provide navigationto each route waypoint through the active route and CDI pages. From the active routepage, you may also create and modify the active route. The CDI page will displaydetailed navigation data on your progress to each route waypoint and provide turnanticipation, waypoint arrival and next desired track information. By understandingthe relationship between the active route and CDI pages and the role of the waypointsequencing selector, you’ll be able to get the most out of the GNC 250’s advancedroute features.Whenever the GNC 250 is navigating an on-route direct-to or route, the activeroute page will provide a list of the route waypoints in sequence, along with dis-tance, time and course information. You may also create and edit a route directly fromthe active route page. If you want to save a route created from the active route page(route 0), you must copy it to an open storage route (see page 64) before turning theunit off or activating another route. The active route page may be displayed by press-ing the R key and rotating O left continuously. It will also appear whenever aroute is activated.To scroll through the active route waypoints:1. Rotate K with the flashing cursor inactive (or O with the cursor active).The active leg identifiers field, located at the top left of the page, displays the way-point identifiers of the route leg you are currently navigating. The first waypoint iden-tifier displayed is the ‘active from’ waypoint. The second waypoint is the ‘active to’waypoint. The line connecting these waypoints is known as the ‘active leg’. If you arenavigating a direct-to, the field will display the destination with a ‘goto’ designation.67APPENDIX AMap DatumsUSING THE ACTIVE ROUTE PAGEThe GNC 250’s active route page provides aworking list of the route you are navigating,allowing you to view all route waypoints, alongwith distance, timing or desired track information.The scrolling arrow prompt to the left of the routewaypoint list indicates which way to scroll toview additional route waypoints.The active route page can also be used to manual-ly select your next ‘active-to’ destination, whichallows you to fly the route out of sequence withoutmodifying it.
