Active Flight
Plan
ETA reflects the present position and active leg:
ETA = current time + ETE of each leg from the active leg
up to and including the selected leg
Catalog Route
ETA = departure time + ETE of each leg up to and including
the selected leg
If you select the entire flight plan, the last leg of the flight plan is treated as the
selected leg. This is true whether the selected flight plan is active or inactive.
