Copying Flight Plans
Copy Flight Plan? allows you to copy the selected
flight plan to a new flight plan location. The copy
function is useful for duplicating an existing flight plan
before making changes.
If you wish to save a flight plan currently located
in “flight plan 00”, copy it to an open catalog location
(1-19) before the flight plan is cancelled, overwritten
or erased.
Use the “Copy Flight Plan?” option to save
a copy of a flight plan to another memory
location. This is useful for saving the active
flight plan, or to save a stored flight plan
before editing.
NOTE:
Once a flight plan is activated, it is copied to
“flight plan 00” and overwrites the previous contents
of the flight plan memory location.
