2. Select the external GPS (designated GPS1 or GPS2 during initial setup) as the Nav Source for
the Mini.
3. Press the Flight Plan softkey. The Mini will automatically open the External Flight Plan page,
listing all the waypoints in the active flight plan on the external GPS.
4. Press EXIT to follow the flight plan using the GPS CDI and waypoint information on the PFD.
5. At any time during the flight:
�
Press COPY to overwrite the current active Internal flight plan with the waypoints for the
External Flight Plan. This will convert the external flight plan to an internal flight plan,
allowing editing of the waypoints.
Highlight INTERNAL with the knob and press the knob to switch back to an Internal flight plan.
Remember to also switch the GPS Nav Source on the PFD.
