Subject: Wishlist for the next IFD software release

This isn't really a "wishlist" item, but a question about an operational procedure that I discovered while using the simulator. I notice that in order to activate the published missed approach, one must go to the FMS page and enable the missed approach after the FAF but before reaching the MAP. For those of us that fly approaches without an autopilot, this is normally a time of fairly high concentration. It could be quite a distraction to leave the MAP page (which shows important information about distance to the missed approach point) for the FMS page, press the LSK to enable the miss, and then return to the MAP page. Is there an alternative for activating the published miss that I am missing? If there is not a good alternative, then such an option would be on my wishlist. Thanks.
