@ 5:46 there's a route discontinuity even after he said there wasn't! =0

[contrail777]

@fsxpilot66 Yes, there's a discontinuity after the last fix on the the arrival (CWK) and before the approach. This is normal since CWK is the clearance limit. =0

Great video. Quick question though. With a route discontinuity due to radar vectoring on a departure, how do you get the FMS to "jump over" the break and recommence lateral navigation for the remainder of the route?

[contrail777]

@BaronBoy100 The course in the FMS remains intact when you are vectored off the procedure. What usually happens after getting vectored off an RNAV procedure is that you are subsequently cleared directly to another FIX from which you continue the departure/arrival. On the LEGS page, put the new fix on top and execute the change to go direct to the new fix.

Sweet video! Are you able to insert both speed and altitude restrictions, or is it just altitude?

[contrail777]

@pntbllr233 We have two different boxes, this one only accepts altitude. As a general rule of thumb, it takes one mile to slow 10 knots, so if you descend at 300 knots and have to cross a fix at 250, then you need to level off 5 miles early.

@contrail777 gotcha

A fix named KMART. I like that.
