Flight Plan (FPL) Mode
Updating Leg Information
The bottom line of Flight Plan Leg pages is used to display the
customizable Leg Information. Several types of Leg Information may
be selected for viewing, and are described next in Leg Information
Options.
With the cursor flashing on the third line of the display screen, rotate
the Small knob to display each of the Leg Information fields.
Press ENT when the field of your choice is flashing to make the
displayed Leg Information available on each of the flight plan legs in
the current flight plan.
Leg Information Options
A list of each Leg Information option, along with explanations of their
meanings, is given next. The Leg Information is viewed on the third
line of the displayed Flight Plan Leg page.
Waypoint Type
The Waypoint Type field displays which type of waypoint each
waypoint in the flight plan is. The example above shows that the From
waypoint of the displayed leg is an Airport, and the To waypoint of the
displayed leg is a VOR. The waypoint type option is "locked" for
loaded approach waypoints so they can easily identified as "IAF, FAF,
MAP, and MAHP."
ETA
The ETA field shows the Estimated Time of Arrival at the To waypoint
of the currently displayed leg of the Active flight plan only. The Active
flight plan ETA uses the plane's actual ground speed, and is the ETA
from the latest known position. If actual ground speed is 5 knots or
less, the time is dashed (—:—).
