SECTION 4: FLIGHT PLANS
The GPS 400 lets the pilot create up to 20 different
flight plans, with up to 31 waypoints in each flight plan.
The Flight Plan Page Group consists of two pages (Active
Flight Plan Page, Figure 4-1, and Flight Plan Catalog Page,
Figure 4-2), accessed by pressing the
FPL
Key. The flight
plan pages allow the pilot to create, edit, and copy flight
plans.

4.1 FLIGHT PLAN CATALOG PAGE
The Flight Plan Catalog Page (Figure 4-1) allows
the pilot to create, edit, activate, delete, and copy flight
plans. Flight plans numbered from 1 through 19 are
used to save flight plans for future use. ‘Flight plan 00’
is reserved exclusively for the flight plan currently in use
for navigation. Any time the pilot activates a flight plan, a
copy of the flight plan is automatically transferred to ‘flight
plan 00’, overwriting any previously active flight plan.
Creating a new flight plan:
1) Press the
FPL
Key and turn the small
right
knob to display the Flight Plan Catalog Page
(Figure 4-2).

MENU
Key to display the Flight Plan
Catalog Page Menu (Figure 4-3).
