popping and pushing view controllers in same actio

Question

is is possible to pop a view off the navigation stack and then push another straight onto it?

I'm trying to implement a flat hierarchy for this section and would like to have a segmented controller but I can't make the segmented controller look anything liked I want, hence why I'm trying to use the navigation controller.

When a button is clicked I executed this code:

[[self navigationController] popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
        MapsViewController *aViewController = [[MapsViewController alloc]
                                               initWithNibName:@"MapsViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:aViewController animated:NO];
[aViewController release];

It's popping off ok but theres no sign of any pushing! Any help would be appreciated.

In Swift:

let newVc = UIViewController()
var vcArray = self.navigationController?.viewControllers
vcArray!.removeLast()
vcArray!.append(newVc)
self.navigationController?.setViewControllers(vcArray!, animated: false)

In case newVc exists in a Storyboard:

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let newVc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("YourViewControllerIdentifier") as! UIViewController
var vcArray = self.navigationController?.viewControllers
vcArray!.removeLast()
vcArray!.append(newVc)
self.navigationController?.setViewControllers(vcArray!, animated: false)
