SixFootScream 5 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi everyone, I am a novice when it comes to the CRJ. I noticed vect on the flight plan in the FMS. When I overfly it the plane won't follow the flight plan any longer and shows 9999NM So what does VECT do? And why does it cause the plane to no longer the flight plan.

HighFlyer51 34 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 VECT stands for vectors - which indicates that ATC should give you vectors from this point (normally to eventually get to the next point in your plan). Therefore, if you do not do anything, the plane will just continue to fly the last heading. You need to either remove the VECT in the FMS, or, you engage heading mode to manually fly towards the next waypoint (and resume NAV with a direct to).

I'd just written a large post about detailing every step about the very same topic and asked two questions. You answered both of them perfectly. Thanks! It is a pity I didn't search before I did all that writing, now I just have to delete it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
