Set FMS and avionics, including flight director and autopilot controls for the arrival, if applicable.

Bottom line

Flight crews should crosscheck the cleared flight plan against charts or other applicable resources, as well as the navigation system textual display and the aircraft map display, if applicable. Pilots must use a lateral deviation indicator (or equivalent navigation map display), flight director and/or autopilot in lateral navigation mode on RNAV 1 routes. Manual entry of waypoints using latitude/longitude or place/bearing is not permitted.
