Flight Plans
The 500W-series unit lets you create up to 20 differ-
ent flight plans, with up to 31 waypoints in each flight
plan. The flight plan (FPL) page group consists of two
pages, accessed by pressing the FPL key. The flight plan
pages allow you to create, edit and copy flight plans.
Active Flight Plan

Flight Plan Catalog

The Flight Plan Catalog allows you 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 active flight plan currently in use
for navigation. Any time you activate a flight plan, a
copy of the flight plan is automatically transferred to
"flight plan 0" and overwrites any previously active
flight plan.
