Ha! Not yet. Undoubtedly, the current training manager has been considerate enough to leave that for his successor.

There's no rush, but why wait for the FD unnecessarily? The fix we're usually told to fly to is usually on page 2 or 3. The PF will be zoomed out on the ND, and starts the turn to the fix. Obviously...
