4 - FLIGHT PLANS

Section 4: Flight Plans

The GNS 530 lets you create up to 20 different ﬂ ight plans, with up to 31 waypoints in each ﬂ ight plan.

The ﬂ ight plan (FPL) page group consists of two pages, accessed by pressing the FPL key. The ﬂ ight plan
pages allow you to create, edit and copy ﬂ ight plans.

Flight Plan Catalog

The Flight Plan Catalog allows you to create, edit, activate, delete and copy ﬂ ight plans. Flight plans num-

bered from 1 through 19 are used to save ﬂ ight plans for future use. “Flight plan 0” is reserved exclusively for
the ﬂ ight plan currently in use for navigation. Any time you activate a ﬂ ight plan, a copy of the ﬂ ight plan is
automatically transferred to “ﬂ ight plan 0” and overwrites any previously active ﬂ ight plan.

To create a new ﬂ ight plan:

1. Press FPL and rotate the small right knob to display the Flight Plan Catalog.

2. Press MENU to display the Flight Plan Catalog Options.

3. Rotate the large right knob to highlight “Create New Flight Plan?” and press ENT.

4. A blank ﬂ ight plan page appears for the ﬁ rst empty storage location. Use the small and large right knobs

to enter the identiﬁ er of the departure waypoint and press ENT.

5. Repeat step #4 above to enter the identiﬁ er for each additional ﬂ ight plan waypoint.

6. Once all waypoints have been entered, press the small right knob to return to the Flight Plan Catalog.
