Trip Page
The Trip Page is continuously updated during flight. The distance and the time
values are updated with each new positive fix from the GPS. The route legs
advance with each waypoint message. Turning the left knob one detent to the right
from the Map page brings up the Trip Page, which shows the remaining legs in the
current flight plan and other data being received by the MFD from the GPS. If the
flight plan doesn’t fit on the screen, an ellipse (...) is shown in the next to last line.
The destination is always displayed, on the last line. A “No Flightplan Available”
message is displayed if there is no flight plan entered or if the GPS has failed.
