Overview GPS Navigation SECTION 3 FLIGHT PLANNING Flight Planning 3.1 INTRODUCTION Flight planning on the aera 795/796 consists of building a flight plan by entering waypoints one at a time and inserting approaches as needed. Up to 50 flight plans with up to 300 waypoints each can be created and stored in memory. One flight plan can be activated at a time and becomes the active flight plan. The active flight plan is erased when the destination is reached and the system is turned off. When storing flight plans with an approach, the aera 795/796 uses the waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the aera 795/796 automatically updates the information if the procedure has not been modified. If an approach is no longer available, the procedure is deleted from the affected stored flight plan(s), and an alert is displayed. Whenever an approach is loaded into the active flight plan it replaces the destination airport with a sequence of waypoints for the selected approach. The airport must have a published instrument approach and only the final course segment (usually from final approach fix to missed approach point) of the published approach is available in the aera 795/796.
