5.1 FLIGHT PLAN CATALOG PAGE
The Flight Plan Catalog Page (Figure 5-1) allows
the pilot to create, edit, activate, delete, and copy ight
plans. Flight plans numbered from 1 through 19 are
used to save ight plans for future use. ‘Flight plan 00’
is reserved exclusively for the ight plan currently in use
for navigation. Any time the pilot activates a ight plan, a
copy of the ight plan is automatically transferred to ‘ight
plan 00’, overwriting any previously active ight plan.
Creating a new flight plan:
1) Press the FPL Key and turn the small right
knob to display the Flight Plan Catalog Page
(Figure 5-2).
2) Press the MENU Key to display the Flight Plan
Catalog Page Menu (Figure 5-3).
