Flight Plan Catalog
The Flight Plan Catalog allows you 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 0” is reserved
exclusively for the flight plan currently in use for navigation. Any time you activate a flight plan, a copy
of the flight plan is automatically transferred to “flight plan 0” and overwrites any previously active
flight plan.
