ACTIVATING A FLIGHT PLAN
While you always have the option to manually activate the flight
plan via a LSK on the Flight Plan tab, the created plan on the
Flight Plan tab will automatically activate on takeoff roll when a
threshold groundspeed is achieved (which is approximately 40
knots). If you built the flight plan on the “Route” tab, then you will
need to manually activate it via the “Activate Route” LSK on the
left side of the display.
COPYING A FLIGHT PLAN
From the “Route” tab of the “FMS” page, first select the route you
wish to copy via the bottom right-hand knob or by touching the
desired route, then press the “Copy” LSK on the left side of the
bezel. This will present the route name in reverse video. You can
either retain the pre-filled name or type a new one via the
keyboard. Follow by pressing “Enter”. Now use the knob to scroll
up or down the flight plan and edit it as required. If no editing is
required, you have successfully saved or copied a flight plan.
INVERTING A FLIGHT PLAN
From the “Route” tab of the “FMS” page, use the bottom right
knob on the IFD to scroll up or down the list of routes to the
desired flight plan or touch the desired route to invert. Press the
“Invert” LSK. This automatically inverts the flight plan and leaves
the route name field highlighted in reverse video, allowing you
type a new flight plan name, if desired.
PREVIEW FLIGHT PLANS
The flight plans (and procedures) can be previewed as they are
being built while on the FMS page, using the FPL tab with the
map partially exposed (Map-FPL split page as defined in Section
1 of this manual). As a flight plan is being built from that page,
the map will automatically resize to continue to display the entire
flight plan. Similarly, if a procedure is being added to a flight plan,
the procedure selected from the dropdown list and the selected
transition are drawn in real time on the automatically re-sizing
map for visual confirmation of the choice.
