Foreword 14.4 Trip Planning The GTN 6XX allows the pilot to view desired track (DTK), distance (DIS), Getting Started estimated time en route (ETE), en route safe altitude (ESA) and estimated time of arrival (ETA) information for a direct-to, point-to-point between two specified Xpdr Ctrl waypoints or for any programmed flight plan. This item also displays the sunrise/ sunset times for your destination waypoint (for the selected departure date). All Com/Nav times are based on the time set in System-Setup. The trip planning inputs are manually entered by the pilot. FPL The trip statistics are calculated based on the selected starting and ending Direct-To waypoints and the trip planning inputs. In Flight Plan mode with a stored flight plan selected, and the entire flight Proc plan (CUM) selected, the waypoints are the starting and ending waypoints of the selected flight plan. Wpt Info In Flight Plan mode with a stored flight plan selected, and a specific leg selected, the waypoints are the endpoints of the selected leg. Map In Point-To-Point mode these are manually selected waypoints (if there is an Traffic active flight plan, these default to the endpoints of the active leg). Some of the calculated trip statistics are dashed when the selected leg of the Terrain active flight plan has already been flown. Weather • Desired Track (DTK) - DTK is shown as nnn° and is the desired track between the selected waypoints. It is dashed unless only a single leg is Nearest selected. • Distance (DIS) - The distance is shown in tenths of units up to 99.9, and Music in whole units up to 9999. Utilities • Estimated time en route (ETE) - ETE is shown as hours:minutes until less than an hour, then it is shown as minutes:seconds. System Messages Symbols Appendix Index • Estimated time of arrival (ETA) - ETA is shown as hours:minutes and is the local time at the destination. - If in Point-To-Point mode then the ETA is the ETE added to the departure time. - If a flight plan other than the active flight plan is selected it shows the ETA by adding to the departure time all of the ETEs of the legs up to and including the selected leg. If the entire flight plan is selected, then the ETA is calculated as if the last leg of the flight plan was selected. 14-12 Garmin GTN 625/635/650 Pilot's Guide 190-01004-03 Rev. B
