SECTION 5 FLIGHT PLANS SECTION 5: FLIGHT PLANS The GNC 420 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 5-1, and Flight Plan Catalog Page, Figure 5-2), accessed by pressing the FPL Key. The flight plan pages allow the pilot to create, edit, and copy flight plans. 5.1 Flight Plan Catalog Page The Flight Plan Catalog Page (Figure 5-1) 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 5-2). 2) Press the MENU Key to display the Flight Plan Catalog Page Menu (Figure 5-3).
