Alert Messages related to the active Flight Plan are displayed on the bottom of the Map Page
when appropriate:
 FPL TURN: XXs: Displayed when there is less than 30 seconds before a transition from
one leg to the next in a flight plan, where XX is the number of seconds.
 LAST LEG EXTD: Displayed when the destination waypoint of the last leg has been
passed. SkyView automatically extends the active leg indefinitely.

Activating a Flight Plan
Press the NAVIGATE button to activate your SKYVIEW Flight Plan routing. Guidance will be
provided directly to the first waypoint in the Flight Plan and along each leg in the Flight Plan
thereafter. Guidance is visible for each leg on the HSI if SKYVIEW is selected as the HSI SRC.
To go directly to a waypoint other than the first, go into the Flight Plan menu, scroll to the
waypoint you want to navigate to, press FPL MENU, select WAYPOINT and confirm.
Guidance will be provided directly to the selected waypoint and to the remaining legs in the
Flight Plan after that. Similarly, use the ACTIVATE LEG option in the FPL MENU to skip to the leg
that ends with the highlighted waypoints. In contrast to the WAYPOINT option, ACTIVATE
LEG does not use your aircraft’s current position to generate a Direct-To course. It instead
displays course guidance according to the selected leg.
The following figure shows an active Flight Plan where the first leg is active and the aircraft is
partway between the first two waypoints of the Flight Plan and is on course. The route is
depicted on the Moving Map display and the course is displayed on the HSI. Since the aircraft is
on course, there is no deviation on the CDI needle on the HSI.
