The split view is useful when entering flight plans because a
preview of the pending modification will be shown (see
“Previewing Flight Plans” on page 2-9).
It is also useful for reviewing the flight plan leg-by-leg. When the
split view is active, the View LSK has a third option named
“Cursor”. When that view is selected, the map side of the display
will be centered on the terminating point of the leg surrounded by
the cursor. As a reminder of th
e “Cursor” view being active, the
legend “Cursor Centered” will be displayed near the top of the
map. By moving the cursor through the flight plan and having an
appropriate zoom level, a nice overview of the flight plan can be
performed.

Flight Plan Cursors
There are three types of cursors
– an insert cursor, an edit cursor,
and a field cursor. An insert cursor appears as a thin cyan
horizontal line that appears between flight plan rows. This cursor
allows you to insert new legs and procedures at that position. The
edit cursor appears as a cyan box surrounding the entire row and
allows you to perform operations on that row. A field cursor
appears as a filled cyan ("reverse video") box within a row.
