Copy Flight Plan? copies the active flight plan to a flight plan catalog location, as
described on page 57. The copy function is useful for duplicating the active flight
plan before making changes.
Invert Flight Plan? reverses the active flight plan. See description of “Invert &
Activate FPL” option on page 56.
Delete Flight Plan? allows you to remove all waypoints from the selected flight plan,
as described on page 57. Deleting a flight plan does not delete the waypoints con-
tained in the flight plan from the database or user waypoint memory.
Select Approach? allows you to select a published instrument approach for the desti-
nation airport, or replace the current approach with a new selection. (In many cases,
you’ll find it more convenient to select approaches using the
P
key—as described
on page 66.)
To select an approach for a direct-to or flight plan destination airport:
1. Choose the “Select Approach?” option from the active flight plan page options and press
E
.
2. A window will appear listing the available approaches for your destination airport. Rotate the
small right knob (
a
) to highlight the desired approach and press
E
.
3. A second window will appear listing available transitions for the approach. Rotate the small right
knob (
a
) to highlight the desired transition waypoint and press
E
. (The “Vectors” option
assumes you will receive vectors to the final course segment of the approach and will provide
navigation guidance to intercept this final course.)
4. Rotate the large right knob (
d
) to highlight “Load?” or “Activate?” and press
E
. “Load?”
will add the approach to the flight plan without immediately using the approach for navigation
guidance. This allows you to continue navigating the original flight plan until cleared for the
approach—but, keeps the approach available for quick activation when needed.
5. For precision approaches, a reminder window will appear indicating that GPS guidance on such
approaches is strictly for monitoring only. To confirm this reminder, highlight “Yes?” and press
E
.
