ToD data not appearing when FMS plan contains vectors


Recommended Posts

I flew EGLC-EGNT and planned the RIMT1N arrival to ILS25 with vectors after ETSES (I had removed discontinuity but left vectors so I could get a reasonable intercept in HDG mode). Plan looked fine on the FMS and in PLN mode.

 

Got to cruise and switched MFD to show VNAV - I did not see the time/distance to ToD. It stayed like that until I removed the VECTORS line on the FMS - immediately I saw the ToD and it worked fine after that. It was not ideal because it left me with a direct to FF125 which is not appropriate.

 

My question is why I need to remove the vectors indication as that correctly describes (in my mind) the plan - it "knows" all the constraints and has the runway - seems like the very least it could do is take me to the last alt constraint before the vectors?
