Flight Plans
The 400W-series lets you create up to 20 flight
plans, with up to 31 waypoints in each flight plan.
Flight plans are created, edited and activated using the
FPL key. The FPL page group includes two pages: the
active flight plan page and the flight plan catalog. The
active flight plan page provides information and editing
features for the flight plan currently in use (referred to
as “flight plan 00”). The flight plan catalog serves as the
main page for creating new flight plans, as well as edit-
ing or activating previously created flight plans.

Since using flight plans is arguably one of the more
complex features of the 400W-series, we’ll only discuss
it briefly here — focusing on creating a new flight
plan and activating it to use for navigation. Additional
information about flight plans can be found in Section
4 Flight Plans.
