SECTION 6 FLIGHT PLANNING
6.1 INTRODUCTION
CAUTION: Only the final course segment (usually from the final approach
fix to the missed approach point) of the published approach is available if
an external navigator is NOT configured.
NOTE: In order to add, delete, or change flight plan waypoints from the G3X
Touch
™
when an external GPS navigator is configured, touch FPL Source >
Internal from the Active Flight Plan Page or Direct-to Page. Press the FPL
Source > External to return to the external GPS navigator’s flight plan.
NOTE: While navigating using an external GPS navigation source, the ability
to edit/invert/delete the Active Flight Plan or activate a Saved Flight Plan is
disabled.
NOTE: Refer to section 8.9 (Connext Cockpit Connectivity) for information on
wirelessly transferring flight plans from a mobile device (using Garmin Pilot
or Garmin Portables) to the G3X Touch or external navigator (if configured).
Flight planning on the G3X Touch 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 G3X Touch uses the waypoint
information from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database is
changed or updated, the G3X Touch automatically updates the information. If an
approach is no longer available, the procedure is deleted from the affected stored flight
plan(s), and an alert is displayed.
