SECTION 3 FLIGHT PLANNING
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Flight planning on the aera 660 consists of building a flight plan by entering
waypoints one at a time and inserting approaches as needed. The flight plan is
displayed on maps using different line widths, colors, and types, based on the type of
leg and the segment of the flight plan currently being flown.
Up to 50 flight plans with up to 300 waypoints each can be created and stored
in memory. One flight plan can be activated at a time and becomes the active flight
plan. The active flight plan is erased when the destination is reached and the system
is turned off. When storing flight plans with an approach, the aera 660 uses the
waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints. If the
database is changed or updated, the aera 660 automatically updates the information
if the procedure has not been modified. If an approach is no longer available, the
procedure is deleted from the affected stored flight plan(s), and an alert is displayed.
Whenever an approach is loaded into the active flight plan it replaces the destination
airport with a sequence of waypoints for the selected approach. The airport must have
a published instrument approach and only the final course segment (usually from final
approach fix to missed approach point) of the published approach is available in the
aera 660.
