Copy Flight Plan? allows you to copy the selected flight plan to a new flight plan location, as
described on page 46. The copy function is useful for duplicating an existing flight plan before
making changes.
Delete Flight Plan? allows you to remove the selected flight plan from memory, as described on
page 46. Deleting a flight plan does not delete the individual waypoints contained in the flight
plan from the database or user waypoint memory.
Delete All Flight Plans? allows you to remove all flight plans from memory at one time.
To delete all flight plans:
1. Select the "Delete All Flight Plans?" option from the Flight Plan Catalog options and press ENT.
2. A confirmation window appears. With "Yes?" highlighted, press ENT.
Sort List By Number?/Sort List by Comment? allows you to select between a Flight Plan
Catalog sorted numerically by the flight plan number or sorted alphanumerically based upon the
comment assigned to each flight plan. When either option is selected, the other option appears
on the Flight Plan Catalog options window.
To sort the catalog listing by number or comment:
1. Select the "Sort List By Number?" or "Sort List By Comment?" option (whichever one is currently displayed)
from the Flight Plan Catalog options and press ENT.

Active Flight Plan

The Active Flight Plan page provides information and editing functions for "flight plan 0"—the
flight plan currently in use for navigation. Once you have activated a direct-to or flight plan, 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), distance (DIS) for each leg and cumulative distance (CUM). The
data fields are user-selectable and may be changed to display estimated time of arrival (ETA) or
estimated time en route (ETE).
