FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
ARRIVAL ALERTS
The ARRIVAL ALERTS Box on the AUX – SYSTEM SETUP Page allows arrival alert messages to be turned
On/Off and the alert trigger distance (up to 99.9 units) set for alerts provided on the PFD alerts window and
Navigation Status Box. An arrival alert can be set to notify the pilot with a message upon reaching a user-
specified distance from the final destination (the direct-to waypoint or the last waypoint in a flight plan).
When Arrival Alerts is set to 'On', and the set distance is reached, an "Arrival at waypoint" message is displayed
in the PFD Navigation Status Box, and a "WPT ARRIVAL – Arriving at waypoint – [xxxx]" is displayed on the
PFD. When Arrival Alerts is set to 'Off', only the PFD Navigation Status Box message "Arriving at waypoint"
is displayed, and it is displayed when the time to the final destination is approximately ten seconds.
Enabling/disabling the Arrival Alert:
1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX – SYSTEM SETUP Page.
2) Push the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to select the On/Off Field in the ARRIVAL ALERT Box.
4) Turn the small FMS Knob clockwise to turn the airspace alert On or counterclockwise to turn the alert Off.
Changing the arrival alert trigger distance:
1) Use the FMS Knob to select the AUX – SYSTEM SETUP Page.
2) Push the FMS Knob momentarily to activate the flashing cursor.
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the distance field in the ARRIVAL ALERT Box.
4) Use the FMS Knob to enter a trigger distance and press the ENT Key.

MANAGING FLIGHT PLANS

The pilot can manage flight plans by importing/exporting via SD Card and by storing, copying, inverting,
and deleting. Also, the comment field (name) of each flight plan can be changed to something that is useful for
identification and sorting.

1) Insert the SD card containing the flight plan in the top card slot on the MFD.
2) Press the FPL Key to display the FPL – ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN Page on the MFD.
3) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the FPL – FLIGHT PLAN CATALOG Page.
