When the
feature is used after a multi-leg flight plan has been created to go to
a new single destination, the current Flight Plan is temporarily “overwritten” by the
action. To restore a flight plan that has been “overwritten” by a temporary
activation, use the FPL > FPL MENU > RESTORE FLIGHT PLAN menu option.
This feature allows you to temporarily divert without permanently losing your
existing 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 imports/exports Flight Plans in GPX format. See
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
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
a SkyView 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 tabs of available flight plan sources: SKYVIEW and external ARINC GPS
navigators capable of providing flight plan data. 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.
SKYVIEW Tab
The Flight Plan window opens with the SKYVIEW tab selected and the currently active Flight
Plan displayed.
