Flight Plan Functions

Flight plans are specific routes between waypoints you may store in the Apollo GX memory. This information is used to calculate useful flight statistics. The Flight Plan function allows you to have up to 30 stored flight plans. Each flight plan may have up to 20 legs. The Active flight plan is always used for the current flight. Inactive flight plans may be activated in the Flight Plan function and copied to the Active flight plan.

Flight Plan Leg pages show the leg number and FROM and TO waypoint identifiers on the display, along with the bearing and distance between the FROM and TO waypoints. One asterisk (*) next to the leg number means that the displayed leg is in the Active flight plan. Two asterisks (**) mean that the displayed leg is the active leg and shows the current FROM and TO waypoints which are being used for navigation.
