Store Flight Plan
The active flight plan is erased either when the unit is
turned off, or when another flight plan is activated. When
storing flight plans with an approach, a departure, or an
arrival, the G1000 uses the waypoint information from
the current database to define the waypoints. If the navi
-
gation database is changed or updated, the G1000 auto
-
matically updates the information if the procedure has not
been modified. If an approach, a departure, or an arrival
procedure is no longer available, the flight plan becomes
locked until the procedure is deleted from the flight plan,
or until the correct navigation database is installed.
To store a flight plan:
1. From the Flight Plan window, once all the
waypoints have been entered, press the
MENU
key to display the page menu options.
2. Turn the
FMS
knob to select ‘Store Flight Plan’,
then press the
ENT
key. The Store Flight Plan
window is displayed with ‘OK’ highlighted.
Press the
ENT
key to store the flight plan.
3. To cancel, turn the
large FMS
knob to highlight
‘CANCEL’ and press the
ENT
key.
