Save
Press the Save key to save the active flight plan to memory. If a flight
plan exists with the same name, the CNX80 will add a suffix (such as a
“2”) to the flight plan to show the difference. Press Menu/Enter for Yes
or CLR for No.
Edit
Pressing the Edit key creates a copy of the active flight plan. Making a
copy protects you from accidently changing your active flight plan. You
can now edit the “Modified” flight plan. If you are already viewing a
“Modified” flight plan, you will be prompted to replace the current
modified flight plan (Menu/Enter) or keep the current one (CLR).
1. Turn the Large knob to move to the waypoint to modify (highlighted
in green).
2. Press Modify to change the selected waypoint. Use the Large and
Small knobs to select a new waypoint and press Menu/Enter.
2. Press the Wpt key to insert another Waypoint or press the Arwy key
to insert an Airway.
3. After modifying the flight plan, the smart keys give you the choice of

Execute (Exec)

flight plan. A flight plan that is being modified will not be used until you
press Exec and confirm the activation.
Comment (Cmnt)
This function allows you to place a comment, of up to one line of text,
for the flight plan. The comment will be placed just below the flight
plan name.
Copy
The Copy function creates a duplicate of the selected flight plan. You
can use the Copy function as a timesaving method to create a new
flight plan when you will reuse many of the same waypoints and proce-
dures.
Discontinuity
A Discontinuity is a message placed in the affected position in a flight
plan indicating the pilot needs to fill in more detail about the flight
plan. The CNX80 either needs to know how you want to go from way-
point A to B or an inserted procedure doesn’t match the end of the en
route structure. You may delete the Discontinuity message after
