TM 1-1510-218-10 3C-113 Table 3C-44.  VNAV Direct-To Procedure NO. DESCRIPTION/FUNCTION 1 Press the Direct function key - DIR. 2 Select     VNAV     Direct-To     the     active waypoint, if it has an altitude/flight level assigned (indicated by the V attribute).   If the waypoint on line 3 does not have an   altitude/flight    level    assigned,    the VNAV label is blanked. 3 Indicates V attribute. 4 VNAV CLIMB/DESCNT path synchronizes to the Direct-To path. If an angle is entered, the vertical rate will be dynamically updated based on the angle prior to and during capture and the subsequent vertical path.  An * will appear next to the angle value to indicate that it is  fixed.    If  a  vertical  rate  is  initially  entered,  the angle  is  updated  based  on  the  entered  rate  prior  to the capture points plus an * appears next to the rate.   At  capture  of  the  vertical  path,  the  angle  becomes fixed and the entered rate is now updated during the climb/descent.  The   *  is  now  displayed  next  to  the angle to indicate the fixed value. (4)   Direct  Climb  or  Descent  Path  Display.   The  DIRECT  CLIMB/DESCNT vertical rate or angle on   the   Flight   Plan   Waypoint   page   is   computed based on the FMS-800 present position and altitude for  any  waypoint  with  an  altitude  assigned,  not  just for  the  active  waypoint.    Refer  to  Figure  3C-58 and Table 3C-45.  This advisory enables the pilot to plan his  climb  or  descent.    He  is  apprised  of  the  actual vertical   maneuver   required.      For   example,   ATC delays    his    climb/descent    clearance    beyond    the planned  Bottom  Of  Climb  (BOC)  or  Top  Of  Descent (TOD),    or    clears    the    aircraft    Direct-To    another waypoint using the specified waypoint altitude.  This is also the value that will be inserted if the pilot were to select a VNAV Direct-To. Figure 3C-58.  VNAV Steering Pages Table 3C-45.  VNAV Steering Page Procedure NO. DESCRIPTION/FUNCTION 1 Pressing  the  Steering  function key  –  STR  will access the last viewed Steering page. 2 Scrolls vertically between the Steering pages. 3 Indicates the distance to BOC/TOD. 4 Indicates direct VNAV guidance. 5 Specified altitude/flight level and path angle to the active waypoint. 6 Current aircraft altitude. (5)   VNAV   Direct-To.        To    perform    a    VNAV Direct-To     climb     or     descent,     follow     the     procedure specified in Figure 3C-59.
