Is it a big NO-NO to fly through the flight director on the Airbus? Would it trigger some protections?
Because it's what I do all the time when flying manually. For example, out of our base for a departure that initially takes us to the North, passing FL60 we're often cleared to any waypoint that could be also in the third page of the LEGS page. It will take around 5 seconds maybe to select it, ask me to confirm and execute. In the meanwhile, I am already established in a 25-degree bank angle turn with the vertical FD bar fully deflected to the side. It will recenter.
