A320 - DIR TO

  • Hi. On the OSHIMA R arrival for 16 R at RJTT - DIR TO the NEURO waypoint wasn't accepted by the MCDU. After several attempts, it then updated the track back to XAC - the initial waypoint of the arrival - repeating all the fixes up to NEURO.

    DIR TO the RESIN waypoint was accepted though, so the A/P was then able to perform a successful ILS approach.

    DIR TO on departure waypoints gives the same update issue - updating the track with all STAR fixes - so basically returning the track to the departure airport then repeating the STAR.

    You've stated that the current DIR TO is an experimental feature at this point - so what's its current functionality?

    Any particular DIR TO situations you want testing as part of the current beta?
