Active Flight Plan Options

removes the active fl ight plan from memory.
Published instrument approaches can be selected
and used from the Active Flight Plan Options, or
by pressing the PROC key. The "Select Approach?"
option appears in both places.

Delete Flight Plan? allows you to remove all waypoints from the active fl ight plan, as described on page
54. (Deleting a fl ight plan does not delete the waypoints contained in the fl ight plan from the database or
user waypoint memory.)
Select Approach? allows you to select a published instrument approach for the destination airport, or
replace the current approach with a new selection. (In many cases, you'll fi nd it more convenient to select
approaches using the PROC key — as described on page 61.)
To select an approach for a direct-to or fl ight plan destination airport:
1. From the Active Flight Plan Page, press MENU to display the Active Flight Plan Page Options.
2. Highlight the "Select Approach?" option and press ENT.
3. A window appears listing the available approaches for your destination airport. Rotate the small right
knob to highlight the desired approach and press ENT.
4. A second window appears listing available transitions for the approach. Rotate the small right knob to high-
light the desired transition waypoint and press ENT. (The "Vectors" option assumes you will receive vectors to
the fi nal course segment of the approach and will provide navigation guidance to intercept this fi nal course.)
5. Rotate the large right knob to highlight "Load?" or "Activate?" and press ENT. "Load?" adds the approach
to the fl ight plan without im me di ate ly using the approach for navigation guidance. This allows you to continue
navigating the original fl ight plan until cleared for the approach, but keeps the approach available for quick
activation when needed. "Activate?" adds the approach to the fl ight plan and begins navigating the approach
course.
6. For precision approaches, and non-precision approaches not approved for GPS, a reminder window appears
indicating that GPS guidance on such ap proach es is strictly for monitoring only. To confi rm this reminder, high-
light "Yes?" and press ENT.
