Creating a Flight Plan (Route)

You can create a Flight Plan (or route) using the Route page in the
Main Menu. The Route is then saved for future use. You can also
create a route using the Active Route page for immediate use. For
more information, refer to "Creating Routes"
and "Editing and Managing Routes"
NOTE: After you perform an update to your Jeppesen Database,
verify that all of your flight plans in your unit are still current.

route with current Jeppesen Database points.
