Closing a LEGS Discontinuity

beginner
📍 Route: EGLL → DVR → LFPG⏱ ~4 minutes📊 4 steps

Decode the box-prompt route discontinuity on the 737 LEGS page — what it is, why the FMC inserts it, and how to close the gap and EXEC it active. The Boeing way differs from the Airbus: closing the gap is staged until you press EXEC.
