Store Flight Plan
NOTE: The active flight plan is erased when the
unit is turned off and when another flight plan
is activated.
When storing flight plans with an approach, depar-
ture, or arrival, the G1000 uses the waypoint information
from the current database to define the waypoints. If the
navigation database is changed or updated, the G1000 au-
tomatically updates the information if the procedure has
not been modified. If an approach, departure, or arrival
procedure is no longer available, the flight plan becomes
locked until the procedure is deleted from the flight plan
or until the correct navigation database is installed.
