COOL FEATURE
Enter Approaches for Multiple “Destinations”
The FMS will allow multiple airfields or destinations
to be built into the flight plan. Each can have the
published approach and missed approach as part of
the plan. This is useful in pre-building your primary
destination with a missed approach, expected
alternate and its published approach. Similarly, a
training flight with multiple intended approaches and
locations can all be created in a single flight plan,
before takeoff.

from the previous approach and prior to reaching the
next approach’s FAF altitude, this “Check Altitude
Too Low” message may be displayed.
