flight plan. However, it is important to note that if you build additional legs around
a
destination, the new resulting multi-leg flight plan will now permanently
overwrite the previous flight plan.
There are two types of leg transitions. A flyby leg transition causes the aircraft to fly by the leg’
s
destination waypoint in order to smoothly transition from one leg to the next with no
overshoot. This is the default transition type for each leg. An overfly transition causes the
aircraft to fly directly over the waypoint before transitioning to the next leg. The transition type
can be selected for each individual waypoint transition in the Flight Plan.
The Flight Plan is synchronized across all displays. A Flight Plan is also preserved on each
display over a power-cycle, but navigation is not active after the Flight Plan has been restored
upon start-up.
SkyView can import and export Flight Plans in GPX format to a USB Memory Stick.
See
http://wiki.dynonavionics.com/Importing_Flight_Plans
for information about
specific aviation software products that are known to output compatible GPX files.
Additionally, a technical reference for this format can be found at
http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp
. There are many utilities available that convert
other formats to GPX format and vice-versa.
When parsing GPX files, SkyView looks at the first 99 route points (<rtept> tags)
within the first route (<rte> tag) in the GPX file. All other data is ignored.
Creating and Working with SkyView Flight Plans
This section describes the windows and menus that are available for creating and manipulating
