Summary
In aviation, "DCT" stands for "Direct." It's a function within flight management systems (FMS) that allows pilots to navigate directly to a selected waypoint, bypassing intervening waypoints or airways. This capability enhances flight efficiency by shortening the route and reducing fuel consumption. When filing flight plans, consecutive waypoints are separated by "DCT" to indicate direct routing.
