Hello,

I may be missing something but it seems that there are way too many steps required to select a specific airport and get to the Direct To button quickly. Here's how I'm doing it:

  1. Tap Nrst button
  2. Tap the desired airport
  3. Tap Select
  4. Tap Flight Planning
  5. Tap Fly Direct to Here
  6. Tap OK to replace current flight plan

That is a lot of tapping and fiddling with the panel in case of an emergency. Would it be possible to set it up like this:

  1. Tap Nrst
  2. Tap desired airport
  3. Tap Direct To (replace current flight plan)

Or is there some other shortcut I've missed?

Tony

Do this:

NRST - Select Airport - D - OK

Actually, I just discovered it's easier than that. You don't even have to select the airport first. Just click on it's direct button.

NRST - D - OK

And, if you don't already have a flight plan programmed:

NRST - D

Tony,

9.1 is in beta testing and will be released soon. We've revamped the NRST page and airport searching to make it more streamlined, and provides a lot more information. I think you will like it!

Sorry, these instructions work with beta 9.1.
