ie... tonight;
- Had a very short flight plan; EGNT > POL > TNT > CUMRI > EGGD.
- En route, I added CDF in between CUMRI and EGGD, executed, and altough the plane was supposed to be on a direct course to TNT (and still was after my modification), it turned around 180 degrees, uncommanded while in LNAV.
So as Nic said, you need to select HDG SEL first to ensure you are still flying in your intended direction after making any CDU LEGS changes!
Definately not good enough PM (do they ever read this?).... the CDU currently falls way short of my excpectations for paying £574 ($1140) dollars for this software.
