DETAILED OPERATION
FLIGHT PLANNING SCREENS
In order to allow you to navigate along pre-planned flight plans, your Bendix/King
equipment has facilities to memorise up to 500 user waypoints. Using these user
waypoints together with the enormous built-in database you can then plan up to 99 flight
plans. The equipment has a capacity to store up to 500 flight plan points with a maximum
number of waypoints in any one flight plan of 99.
For example, you can program 99 flight plans, each with 5 waypoints making a total of just
under 500 flight plan waypoints or you could program 5 flight plans each with 99
waypoints. If you attempt to exceed 500 waypoints the unit will display a FLIGHT PLANS
FULL message.

This allows you to fly from your present position directly to any point in the world. More
details about this function are discussed in the Map Mode Screens Section of this Manual.
All user waypoints and flight plans are normally programmed before embarking on the trip
and stored in the unit's user waypoint and flight plan library.
User Waypoints
A user waypoint is a specific location anywhere in the world, defined by an icon, a name of
up to nine letters or numbers and by a latitude and longitude. In your new Bendix/King
equipment there are three types of user-defined user waypoints, each with a specific
function.
Basic User Waypoints are purely user-defined points. These are used in flight plan
