By default, the bottom line of the flight plan “~~~~~~~” will always be high-
lighted, thereby adding new waypoints to the bottom of your flight plan. If

you would like to insert a new waypoint in the middle of a flight plan, simply
highlight the desired line in the flight plan before pressing Insert. The new
waypoint will be added above the highlighted line.
Waypoints may also be deleted, shifted up or down, or the entire routing can
be reversed using the menu buttons on the right of the flight plan screen.

To activate a flight plan:
Flight plans may be activated from either the Flight Plan list or the Flight Plan
Edit screen.

When activating a flight plan, the previously activated flight plan or instrument
procedure, if any, will be canceled.

You must have more than one waypoint entered in order to activate a flight plan.
