Basic Operation
Library Flight Plan
The flight plan Library contains up to 50 flight plans you have created and saved. With a Library flight plan
highlighted, the menu items are: Execute, Comment (Cmnt), Copy, or Edit. When you Execute (EXEC) a flight
plan from the Library, you select a flight plan by scrolling through the Library list with the
Large knob and
press EXEC . Press Menu/Enter to confirm the action to replace the Active flight plan with a Library flight
plan. A copy of the flight plan is then set as the Active plan that your GNS 480 will use to navigate. The flight
plan in the Library remains separate from the Active flight plan. The Comment (CMNT) menu item allows you
to add a line of text below the flight plan name.
