•‘Copy Flight Plan?’ - Allows the pilot to copy the selected flight plan to a new flight plan location, as described previously in this section. The copy function is useful for duplicating an existing flight plan before making changes.

•‘Delete Flight Plan?’ - Allows the pilot to remove the selected flight plan from memory, as described previously in this section. Deleting a flight

plan does not delete the individual waypoints contained in the flight plan from the database or user waypoint memory.

•‘Delete All Flight Plans?’ - Allows the pilot to remove all flight plans from memory.

Deleting all flight plans:

1)Select the ‘Delete All Flight Plans?’ option from the Flight Plan Catalog Page Menu (Figure 5-15) and press the ENT Key.

•‘Sort List By Number?’/’Sort List by Comment?’ - Allows the pilot to select between a flight plan catalog sorted numerically by the flight plan number or sorted alphanumerically based upon the comment assigned to each flight plan. When either option is selected, the other option appears on the Flight Plan Catalog Page Menu.

Sorting the catalog listing by number or comment:

1)Select the ‘Sort List By Number?’ or ‘Sort List By Comment?’ option (whichever is currently displayed) from the Flight Plan Catalog Page Menu (Figure 5-17) and press the ENT Key.
