Let's assume that the flight plan currently in the GPS is SBJ LANNA BOPLY
ETX ABE. The active waypoint - that to which we're currently flying - is
SBJ. ATC clears me direct to LANNA.

Would "direct" "direct" "enter" change the waypoint to LANNA? Or would it
leave it as SBJ? Or would it do something different?


"direct direct enter" would set your course to intercept and fly the
SBJ-LANNA leg of your flight plan.

"direct enter enter" would fly direct to LANNA from your current
position.

The "direct direct enter" is used when you are told to "resume own
navigation" after a vector diversion. The "direct enter enter" is used
when you are "cleared direct to" a point.
