5.1 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 flight plan currently in use for navigation. When
a flight plan is activated, a copy of the flight plan is
automatically transferred to ‘flight plan 00’ and overwrites
any previously active flight plan.
