737 FMC - When told to go direct to, then depending upon the FMC itself once you have done the button pushing you are left with one of two things:. .</font><ul type="square">[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">Line direct between your present position and the waypoint that you are navigating to. All altitude/speed constraints are dropped.</font></li>[*]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">Line direct between your present position and the direct to, and 'abeam' positions for all of the points that you have bypassed. All altitude/speed constraints are still dropped <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> . .</font></li>[/list]<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">As you can see we have both systems in use - With the first putting in abeam Tiger as 22d before BIG (with FL150), and the second just inserting the Tiger restriction back in. Just for your interest, all LHR BA 737's are the second type; most LGW BA 737's are the first. So Roger an either/or clearance would be nice!. .As for airbus, ummmmmmmmm. .. .See ya!
