Flight Planner page. The default screen is shown in Fig 13.1, and Fig 13.2 shows the display when the
FPL 0 page is opened.
REF: REFERENCE WAYPOINT PAGE
Fig14.1
The reference waypoint page is used to add reference waypoints to a flight plan. Reference
waypoints are waypoints that lie on the "great circle" route where the flight plan route passes
closest to the selected point. All waypoint entries, except Direct-To, are set on the FS9 Flight
Planning page.
ACTV: ACTIVE WAYPOINT PAGE (ACT)
Fig14.1
The active waypoint page displays information specific to the next waypoint of a flight plan. This
page allows the user to view pertinent navigational information specific to the next active waypoint,
regardless of waypoint type, without further user input. The next waypoint can be of any type
including airport, VOR, NDB, or intersection waypoints. Fig14.1 shows a typical ACT page (right
screen). All of the information displayed on this screen will change to the next active waypoint as
each leg of the flight plan changes. This page contains 5 lines of information.
• Line 1: The number on the left side of the line is the sequential waypoint number, and to the
right of it is the waypoint identifier of the next active waypoint.
• Line 2: The left side of this line displays the distance to the next active waypoint in nm. The
right side displays the magnetic bearing to the next active waypoint in degrees.
