When you put a flight plan into the CNX-80, you end up with a=20
"discontinuity" before the last fix. My habit is to delete the=20
discontinuity as soon as I finish entering the route. Another=20
instructor in my club teaches that you should NOT delete the=20
discontinuity.
=20
I can't see any strong arguments one way or the other. Leaving it in=20
doesn't seem to hurt anything (except that you get a warning when you=20
finally arrive at your destination). Taking it out doesn't seem to =
hurt=20
anything either.
=20
Can anybody think of any real reason to either insist that it be =
deleted=20
or insist that it NOT be deleted?

I always delete the discontinuity so as to have a complete flight plan.
Otherwise, the CNX 80 enters Suspend Mode at the discontinuity.
To me, that's a strong argument for removing the discontinuity.
I'd be interested in hearing the other guy's reasons for retaining it.

Of course, the discontinuity will disappear automatically
if an approach is selected at the destination,
but I don't see that as a reason to leave the discontinuity in place.
In case of a visual approach, I normally want navigation to the airport.
