The final approach fix cannot be deleted.
I’m hoping some day we can update the Nav maps so that we can track routes with STARs and SIDS ... that would be like a dream come true!
How to not use this sequence?
A workaround if you use the internal flight planner is to set your destination as an enroute waypoint and another aerodrome (f.i. your alternate) as destination.
Then you fly your own integration path and approach by the maps.

Yes that's right. Didn't think.
But I may lose the cruise, top of descent, descent, approach phases from the A320. Because they will be set for the latest airport of the flight plan.
Many thanks anyway.
EDIT: I've just tried: you can't add an intermediate airport, it wants you to define it as departure or arrival.

You need to first define the dummy-destination airport (e.g. your alternate) and then you can add an airport as waypoint, that's the only way I found I could use the flight planner - but I eventually hardly use it at all...
You won't however be able to insert SIDs and STARs and watch the MCDU fly the aircraft for you.
But you can fly your approach manually by the maps, that's a bit more of challenge... advisable to start with a slower aircraft like the C172 or the Baron...
It would have been easy and versatile if there was a possibility to simply load an external flight plan (there are many existing tools to create extensive flight plans including SID & STAR), but IPACS ever rejected this request.
