SECTION 4: FLIGHT PLANS
The GPS 500 lets the pilot create up to 20 different
ight plans, with up to 31 waypoints in each ight plan.
The Flight Plan Page Group consists of two pages (Active
Flight Plan Page and Flight Plan Catalog Page; Figures 4-1
and 4-2), accessed by pressing the FPL Key. The flight
plan pages allow the pilot to create, edit, and copy flight
plans.

4.1 FLIGHT PLAN CATALOG PAGE
The Flight Plan Catalog Page allows the pilot to create,
edit, activate, delete, and copy flight plans. Flight plans
numbered from 1 through 19 are used to save flight plans
for future use. ‘Flight plan 00’ is reserved exclusively
for the ight plan currently in use for navigation. When
a flight plan is activated, a copy of the flight plan is
automatically transferred to ‘ight plan 00’ and overwrites
any previously active flight plan.
Creating a new flight plan:
1) Press the FPL Key and turn the small right
knob to display the Flight Plan Catalog Page
(Figure 4-2).
2) Press the MENU Key to display the Flight Plan
Catalog Page Menu (Figure 4-3).
