Flight plans can also be stored with an approach, departure, or arrival. The active flight plan is erased
when the system is turned off and overwritten when another flight plan is activated. When storing flight
plans with an approach, departure or arrival, the G1000 uses the waypoint information from the current
database to define the waypoints. If the database is changed or updated, the G1000 automatically updates
the information if the procedure has not been modified. If an approach, departure or arrival procedure is
no longer available, the procedure is deleted from the flight plan and an alert is displayed.
Storing an active flight plan from the Active Flight Plan Page:
1) Press the MENU Key.
2) Highlight ‘Store Flight Plan’.
3) Press the ENT Key.
4) With ‘OK’ highlighted, press the ENT Key (Figure 5-21). The flight plan is stored in the next available position
in the flight plan list on the Flight Plan Catalog Page.
INVERTING THE ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN
‘Invert Fight Plan’ reverses the active flight plan. After navigating along a flight plan, the route can be
reversed for navigation guidance back to the original departure waypoint.

2) Highlight ‘Invert Flight Plan’
3) Press the ENT Key. The ‘Invert Flight Plan?’ window is displayed.

5) Press the ENT Key. To cancel the operation, highlight ‘Cancel’ and press the ENT Key.
DELETING THE ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN

the waypoints contained in the flight plan from the database or user waypoint memory.

2) Highlight ‘Delete Flight Plan’
3) Press the ENT Key. The ‘Delete Flight Plan?’ window is displayed (Figure 5-22).
