AUTOMATION / VERTICAL DIRECT-TO

Build a new descent path

Version 1.1.0 adds Vertical Direct-To. It creates a new vertical path to a waypoint altitude constraint. It is separate from a lateral direct-to and does not replace your clearance.

Check the clearance

Confirm the cleared altitude, the intended waypoint and any restrictions that still apply. Keep the aircraft on a safe path while you make the change.

Set the cleared altitude

Set the authorised lower altitude on the glareshield altitude selector. Check the value.

Open ACT RTE

Open RTE → ACT RTE on the MCDU, as named in the Service Update 1 instructions. Find the waypoint with the altitude constraint you intend to use.

Copy the constraint

Press the right-hand line-select key next to that waypoint altitude. Check that the constraint appears in the scratchpad.

Insert it again

Press the same right-hand line-select key to reinsert the constraint. FSS says the FMS calculates a new vertical path from the present altitude.

Check the path

Look at the vertical situation display. FSS describes the new path as a direct magenta line. Compare the target and path with the clearance and remaining restrictions.

Use VNAV

When appropriate, engage VNAV to follow the calculated path. Read the FMA and monitor altitude, speed and the aircraft response.

The Service Update 1 article says the new path appears as a direct magenta line on the VSD. An 8 November 2026 support post about version 1.1.0 reported that the magenta line did not change after the entry, while a green path did; the aircraft reportedly reached the waypoint altitude. The poster says they entered the constraint from FPL, while FSS specifies ACT RTE. The thread had no replies or diagnosis. Because the post does not describe the documented ACT RTE procedure, it does not show whether that procedure failed. Use ACT RTE as FSS describes, then cross-check the constraint, VSD, FMA, selected altitude and aircraft response. If they disagree, do not rely on the VSD line alone; maintain the cleared path with an appropriate mode or manual control and record the exact build and steps.
