Flight Plans
The GNS 430 lets you create up to 20 different fl ight plans, with up to 31 waypoints in
each fl ight plan. The fl ight plan page group consists of two pages, accessed by pressing the
F
key. The fl ight plan pages allow you to create, edit and copy fl ight plans.
Flight Plan Catalog
The fl ight plan catalog allows you to create, edit, activate, delete and copy fl ight plans.
Flight plans numbered from 1 through 19 are used to save fl ight plans for future use.
“Flight plan 0” is reserved exclusively for the fl ight plan currently in use for navigation.
Any time you activate a fl ight plan, a copy of the fl ight plan is automatically transferred to
“fl ight plan 0” and overwrites any previously active fl ight plan.
