Creating and Working with Flight Plans
This section describes the windows and menus that are available for creating and manipulating
a Flight Plan.
Flight Plan Window
Press the FPL button in the MAP Menu to open the Flight Plan window and menu. The Flight
Plan window contains two tabs of information: ACTIVE and IMPORT. Move the joystick left or
right to display information associated with each tab, and either turn the joystick or move
up/down to scroll within the window.
Active Tab
The Flight Plan window opens with the ACTIVE tab selected and the current Flight Plan
displayed.
Figure 88 - Flight Plan Window
Figure 88 illustrates the following items:
Waypoint List: The list of waypoints making up the current Flight Plan.
Waypoint Icons: The icon that would be shown on the Map Page for the waypoint is
shown to the left of each waypoint in the Flight Plan.
Active Leg Icon: The active leg of the Flight Plan is depicted by a hooked arrow from
origin waypoint to the destination waypoint if the leg is point-to-point. If the FPL Menu
function has been used to go directly to a waypoint within, the flight plan, this
arrow will instead be straight arrow pointing at the selected destination waypoint.
OF (overfly) Icon: This indicates the transition type of the leg. When OF is present, the
leg ending at this waypoint has an overfly transition, otherwise, it has a flyby transition.
DTK (Direct Track): The direction of the leg. For the active leg, though, this is the direct
track from the aircraft to the destination waypoint.
