MULTI FUNCTION DISPLAY
Point-n-Shoot Flight Plan Creation Feature
The “Point-n-Shoot” flight plan creation feature is acti-
vated using the Navigation Map Page and the Active Flight
Plan Page.
To create a Point-n-Shoot flight plan:
1. Push the Joystick to turn the map cursor on.
2. Select the Active Flight Plan Page and press
the
FMS
knob to highlight the list of waypoints.
Waypoints are inserted ABOVE the highlighted
row if the cursor is on. Waypoints are inserted
at the END of the flight plan if the cursor is
off.
3. To insert waypoints, use the map cursor to
point at the desired waypoint (it will become
visually enhanced when it is properly pointed
to), and press the
LD WPT
softkey. Existing user
waypoints are inserted in the same manner.
4. If the selected waypoint is not a Jeppesen
waypoint (Airport or Navaid) or user waypoint,
the G1000 creates a user waypoint (beginning
with ‘USR000’) at the point and inserts it into
the flight plan.
5. The pilot can also create and insert a user
waypoint by pointing at a blank spot on the
nav map and pressing ‘LD WPT’. This creates
a user waypoint at the map cursor and inserts
it into the flight plan.
