ABSTRACT:
The present application provides systems and methods for providing navigational guidance during off-course operations, and techniques to revert back to a desired flight destination upon completion of such operations. In one aspect, an aviation navigational and/or flight management system is configured to alter guidance instructions from a predetermined flight plan for a desired destination to a particular set of radar vectors resulting in off-course flight operations. In another aspect, the system is configured to recalculate a flight plan to the desired final destination upon completion of the off-course operations without resulting in the loss of current historical flight data.
