Store Flight Plan
NOTE: The active flight plan is erased when the
unit is turned off and when another flight plan
is activated.
When storing flight plans with an approach, departure,
or arrival, the G1000 uses the waypoint information from
the current database to define the waypoints. If the
navigation database is changed or updated, the G1000
automatically updates the information if the procedure has
not been modified. If an approach, departure, or 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 of 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.
3. Press the
ENT key to store the flight plan.
4. To cancel, turn the
large FMS knob to highlight
‘CANCEL’ and press the
ENT key.
