It is not uncommon of course, in real-world aviation, that ATC will allow aircraft to take 'shortcuts' by skipping one or more waypoints and so having a more direct route..
How is this modelled in PF3, if at all? There's no way to request this from PF3 ATC ('skip next waypoint'), is there (via a hotkey somehow)?
If you skip a waypoint anyway, perhaps by using the DIR key in the FMC, how do you 'square' this with PF3? The past few times I have tried jumping ahead, ATC gave me no further climb instructions - presumably the programme is still waiting fro me to reach the waypoint I 'missed'?
Thanks,
