Type A and Type B RNAV Arrivals

you can't enter a *GAP* after the terminating waypoint?

The FAA wants all units that can fly type a&b sids stars to do so with no pilot intervention, so legally you cannot alter the ariival or departure. I never tried it but you probably could put a gap in the flight plan, but the problem is what will it do when it reaches the gap.
The star that we use the most, although it's not yet a rnav one is a perfect example, dodje3 into the Dallas area. For our destination the last waypoint is cabby after that you fly a 280 degree heading for vectors. The gns will simply direct you to the destination or next waypoint you have in the flight plan. The FAA say that after reaching cabby it must command a heading of 280 degrees with no pilot intervention.

I have heard, but am not possitive, that with the GNS, if you have an arrival loaded and you manually insert a waypoint or gap, it will dump the whole arrival. But again, the FAA wants the box to do it without pilot assistance.
