Procedures
The Procedure mode allows you to add or modify procedures to standard locations within the active flight
plan. No options will be available if there is not an active flight plan. When you start adding or modifying
procedures, a modified (copy of the active) flight plan is created. You can only change the Origin approach and
departure procedures, Destination arrival and approach procedures, and select an alternate airport. At the bot-
tom of the screen, the flight plan status of either Active or Modified will be shown.
