5.4 FLIGHT PLANS (MFD)
Flight planning centers around the three Flight Plan Pages: Flight Plan Catalog, Active Flight Plan, and Vertical
Navigation. The Flight Plan Catalog and Active Flight Plan pages are used to create, edit, and copy flight plans.
The Vertical Navigation Page (described in Section 5.11) is used to create a three-dimensional profile which
provides advisory VNAV information to a final (target) altitude at a specified location. 99 different flight plans
can be created and stored. The Flight Plan (FPL) Page Group is selected by pressing the FPL Key.

Although it is the second page in the flight plan page group, the Flight Plan Catalog Page is often used first
to create and activate a flight plan. Once a flight plan has been activated, the Flight Plan Catalog Page displays
the information shown in Figure 5-11:
