identifier of the nearest airport to the aircraft's position
at shutdown. Dashes will be displayed in this line
when the aircraft's position coordinates are displayed
on the POS lines.

(a) FR, DIRECT, HOLD, PROCEDURE
TURN, DME ARC, or PSEUDO VORTAC Line.
1 FR. If FR (from) is displayed on
this line, the From waypoint identifier will be displayed
on the left and the time of departure from or overhead
at that waypoint will be displayed in the right field.
2 DIRECT. DIRECT displayed on
this line indicates that the system is navigating to the
next waypoint via a direct route. The time overhead at
the last waypoint will be displayed on the right field.
3 HOLD. This line indicates that a
holding pattern has been initiated. RIGHT or LEFT
displayed on the left side of the field indicates the
direction of turns to fly the pattern as entered on the
Hold page. MANUAL or AUTO on the right side of the
field indicates the programmed exit mode as entered
on the Hold page. Selecting MANUAL initiates a
continuous hold at the fix until action is taken by the
crew to exit the hold. Selecting AUTO executes an
exit the second time the aircraft passes over the fix.
The system then sequences to the next waypoint on
the flight plan. This field can be edited by using the
BACK key.
