On the Bendex/King gear on which I learned, it was easy to skip to another
way point on the flight plan. And this was very convenient, as it comes up fairly often when IFR, at least for me. For example, I'll very often be told "direct SBJ" when leaving CDW, only get "direct ..." to the next waypoint well before I reach SBJ. All I needed to do was select "direct to", and I could then "knob" my way through the waypoints on the flight plan. Pressing either "enter" or "direct to" (I forget which; it's been a way) would have me direct to the proper waypoint within the flight plan. On the Garmin with which I fly now, though, I've only found a more cumbersome way: Select the flight plan button to view the plan, cursor on, knob to the proper entry, and then press "enter". This is more work, and more head-down time. I was able to work the B/K gear w/o looking if I was merely skipping to the next waypoint (press, turn one click, press). I cannot do that with the Garmin as I need to cycle through the flight plan once the cursor is on. But...I vague remember learning a better way to do this with the Garmin. Does anyone happen to know what it is? Thanks... Andrew |
