A320 RWY TRK mode

Hi all,

I’ve come to ask this question here as I don’t believe the FCOM shows an accurate representation of what may actually happen when you take off and RWY TRK engages… as the diagrams show OP CLB being armed which I don’t think is a function on the 320…. Anyways….


My query:

if you have in the f-plan, no Sid, just the departure rwy inserted which has say a 1000ft pseudo CF wpt on the extended centreline after departure.
if I disarm nav on the ground, I would expect RWY TRK engagement at 30ft.

Once I’ve reached the pseudo 1000ft waypoint if I don’t do anything will the aircraft drop into hdg?
or will it remain in RWY TRK indefinitely until I change the mode by either pulling hdg or doing a direct etc…


thanks everyone, hope you all have a good weekend
