It should look something like this (I use waypoint MERIT as an example):
The language from ATC to the pilot should follow as something like this: âJetBlue 007, turn right Direct to MERITâ or the command could even include the heading to the assigned fix such as: âJetBlue 007, turn right 060, direct to MERITâ. Pilots would then proceed to the map icon to adjust their flight plan by selecting the designated waypoint and using the direct icon.
This could be good for radar SIDs.
I think this should be accompanied with a feature on the pilot side for going direct to a point of the FPL and continuing without disengaging LNAV. At least personally I forget to engage LNAV after radar SIDs all the time and this is similar.
