A320 FMGC Logic
I need some help here..
The other day I was heading merrily to a busy Airport along a STAR and ILS approach inserted.
ATC suddenly asks me to cancel STAR and proceed to VOR of the airport.
I use the direct to function and typed in the VOR.
FMGC deletes all waypoints of the STAR, ILS, missed approach and takes me to the starting point of Alternate that starts from the VOR!! (Is this normal?)
And, just while I was begining to wonder if this is normal, ATC asks me to disregard last and continue with STAR... @@@@!! Can anyone suggest a better way to go about things?
(Luckily my experienced Captain had the presence to recall the Seconadry and get going. And to our good luck the Secondary was not setup for something else e.g. differnt STAR for opposite R/W)
Thanks
