Steps for Setting Up a Flight Plan Using Terminal Procedures and Airways
Procedures can be inserted at the time you are creating the flight plan (as described here) or later with the
Procedure (PROC) function. The general phases of flight are shown below with the details following.
NOTE : If the datum for an airport is unknown, terminal and/or instrument procedures will
be available, however navigating with them will cause a reminder message, “Non WGS-84
waypoint navigation.” The procedures are present, but must be selected from multiple transi-
tions. Note that the name may not match the paper approach. Verify the sequence of waypoints
to ensure you have selected the desired procedure.
