CNX80 Flight Planning
Some basic issues have come up in flight planning that are addressed in the Computer
Based Training (CBT) materials you have on your owner's CD. However, they bear
repeating here in order to emphasize the concept of operation.
Changing a Destination
The CNX80 needs to know what the Origin Airport is in order to select the departure
SID. It also needs to know the Destination airport in order to select the appropriate
STAR or Instrument Approach at the Destination airport.
If you are training and bouncing from airport to airport shooting approaches, then you
must change the Destination airport in the CNX80. This may be accomplished in a
number of ways:
Method A
1. Select the flight plan page and edit mode.
2. Highlight the destination airport (if you have an approach selected you will
not see the destination airport, first highlight the approach and delete it using
the CLR key.)
3. Select Modify
4. Choose the new Destination airport and press Enter.

Page 3: Suspend Mode
Suspend Mode A few questions have popped up regarding Suspend mode. There are some automatic features about it that bear repeating here. Most importantly is the need to unsuspend during approach inbound from the FAF. This is a TSO requirement, and we are looking at having this removed in future revisions. However, for the moment the logic is required. - Page 4 Should you ever fly into a discontinuity, this will be annunciated on the CNX80 and the system will roll wings level and continue on the same course it had prior to reaching the waypoint before the discontinuity. Intercepting an Airway There are a couple of ways this typically happens when you’re dealing with ATC (but of course there are always the really creative controllers that have something unique in mind for you,) usually a vector to intercept and occasionally the outbound radial to intercept an...
- Page 5 Roll Steering vs. Deviation Only Autopilots The vast majority of the existing autopilot installations are deviation only autopilots. That means they track the CDI needle and are reactive systems, essentially “needle chasers” and do not have the ability to turn short or anticipate turning maneuvers. Roll steering capable autopilots function in a very different fashion.
