When is the STEERING block populated?

Explanation:
The STEERING block fills in once the navigation system has a defined leg to follow. That happens when a flight plan is loaded and a waypoint is selected, so the system can calculate the required course to steer toward that waypoint along the active leg. Without a loaded plan and an chosen waypoint, there’s no target to steer to, so the block stays empty. Autopilot engagement isn’t required for this population—the steering data is generated as soon as the leg is defined, and autopilot can later use that data to fly the route.
