SECTION 5 – MFD
5.9 MFD AUXILIARY PAGES
This section introduces the MFD Auxiliary Pages. See
the G1000 Multi Function Display Pilot' s Guide for a full
description of the auxiliary pages.

Flight Plan Page Group

The FPL Page group includes three pages:
• Active Flight Plan Page – The Active Flight Plan
Page provides information and editing features for
the flight plan currently in use.
• Flight Plan Catalog Page – The Flight Plan Catalog
Page serves as the main page for creating new flight
plans, as well as editing or activating previously
created flight plans. Up to 99 flight plans may be
created, with up to 31 waypoints in each flight plan.
Flight plans are created, edited and activated using
the FPL key.
• Vertical Navigation Page – The Vertical Navigation
Page allows the pilot to create a three-dimensional
profile which guides the aircraft from its present
position and altitude to a target altitude at a specified
location.
NOTE: Since using flight plans is one of the more
complex features of the G1000, only the Active
Flight Plan Page is covered in this guide. Answers
to additional questions about flight plans can be
found in the G1000 Multi Function Display Pilot's
Guide.

Active Flight Plan Page

The Active Flight Plan Page shows waypoint names
and data for the route currently being used for naviga-
tion guidance. Once a direct-to or flight plan is activated,
the Active Flight Plan Page shows each waypoint for the
flight plan (or a single waypoint for a direct-to), along
with the desired track (DTK), and distance (DIS) between
the "TO" and "FROM" waypoints for each leg. For the
active leg (identified by a magenta line), the distance to
go to the active waypoint is displayed. Once the active
leg is completed, the magenta line moves to the next leg,
and the previously flown leg DTK and DIS fields display
blank lines.
The Active Flight Plan Page also shows the active leg
information, which shows the course being flown from
the beginning point of the leg to the end of the leg and
an enroute safe altitude (ESA) in feet for the selected leg.
The Active Flight Plan Page gives flight plan information,
the total remaining distance in the flight plan and the total
remaining distance to the destination. ESA for the entire
flight plan is also displayed.
Pressing the FPL key displays the Active Flight Plan
Page and allows the user to perform the operations listed
in this section.
NOTE: The Active Flight Plan Page operations are
described in detail in the G1000 Multi Function
Display Pilot's Guide.
