Internal Flight Planning
(Requires Version 8 software or later)
AF-3000s/4000s series displays have an internal flight planning feature, eliminating the requirement for
an external GPS to provide flight plan waypoints. Only a basic GPS with NMEA data output is required to
utilize this feature (though it can still be used with any GPS navigator as well). If you have another GPS
navigator with flight planning capability, it will transfer the flight plan to the EFIS internal flight plan.
Accessing the Flight Plan page
Press [CHECK] -> [FLT PLAN]
Information Displayed:
DTK: Desired Track to Waypoint
VSR: Vertical Speed Required
DTW: Distance to Waypoint
WPID: Waypoint Identifier
RW: Runway: (Number) > (Glide Angle)
ETE: Estimated time Enroute (leg)
Cross xx Before: Distance from waypoint to cross at
AT/ABOVE/BELOW xxx: Cross the prescribed distance from the waypoint at/above/below the set altitude
[SRCSEL] - Selects the GPS source for the internal flight plan (GNAV 1 / GNAV 2 / GPS1 / GPS 2)
[CHART] - Displays the approach plate (if installed on the SD Card) for the destination airport
Creating a Flight Plan
There are two ways to program a flight plan; manually or automatically transfer through another GPS.
To manually create a flight plan, follow these simple steps:

Press INSERT
A waypoint box will appear with the cursor, allowing a waypoint to be entered
Once the waypoint has been entered, press in the right knob to deselect cursor mode
To add another waypoint, press EDIT -> INSERT and follow the same steps as above
