LATERAL OFFSETS
The system supports a capability to create and fly a lateral offset
from your flight plan. From the “FPL” tab of the FMS page, press
the “Offset Route” LSK and use the right-hand knob on the IFD to
dial in the desired offset. Use the outer ring for coarse control (1
nm increments) and the inner ring for fine control (0.1 nm
increments). Rotate the knob left for left offsets and right for right
offsets. Once the intended offset has been entered, press the
“Confirm Right/Left x.x NM” LSK. At that point, the original LSK
will indicate “Offset Route Right/Left X.X NM”. To delete a lateral
offset, press the “Delete Offset” LSK. The maximum offset that
can be dialed in is 20 NM. Lateral offsets are not available when
in OBS mode. Lateral offsets are unaffected by graphical route
planning (“rubber banding”) operations.

GAPS OR DISCONTINUITIES IN FLIGHT PLANS
A “Gap In Route” will appear within the flight plan when there is a
discontinuity between legs. A discontinuity occurs when the FMS
cannot compute the guidance to the next leg due to an invalid leg
type combination based on preset guidance rules. The objective
is to inform the pilot that the Gap must be manually closed if you
wish to sequence to the next waypoint. Otherwise, the leg before
the Gap will not be sequenced and guidance will not be provided
