Using the Flights Tab

The Flights Tab displays a list of any recorded fl ights, including date, route of fl ight, and fl ight time.
The GPSMAP 296 saves up to 50 recorded fl ights. Entries on this list are automatically created for each
fl ight (but only in Aviation Mode). Recording begins when your speed exceeds 30 knots and you gain
500' of altitude. The 'Route of Flight' information uses the nearest airport as the departure airport. The
destination airport is continuously updated as your fl ight progresses. If you land and groundspeed drops
below 30 knots, the fl ight entry is saved and a new entry will be recorded when you depart the airport.
Touch-and-goes or brief stops of less than ten minutes will append to the current fl ight record, rather
than start a new entry. Select any listed item to view additional fl ight information.
