CREATING A FLIGHT PLAN
The active flight plan is listed on the FPL – ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN Page on the MFD, and in the FLIGHT
PLAN Window on the PFD. It is the flight plan to which the system is currently providing guidance, and is
shown on the navigation maps. Stored flight plans are listed on the FPL – FLIGHT PLAN CATALOG Page, and
are available for activation (becomes the active flight plan).
The following procedure is intended to provide an overview of basic flight plan creation. It will create a flight
plan from the origin to the destination, and includes enroute waypoint selection. The following procedure
does not include airways or terminal procedures. For instructions on how to add airways to a flight plan,
see the Flight Plan Waypoint and Airway Modifications discussion later in this Flight Planning Section. For
information on departures, arrivals, approaches, and missed approaches see the Procedures Section.
NOTE: The system does not support course deviation for any heading leg types (VA, VD, VI, VM, or VR).
Creating an active flight plan:
1) Press the FPL Key.
2) Push the FMS Knob to activate the cursor (not required for the PFD).
3) Turn the small FMS Knob to display the WAYPOINT INFORMATION Window. (Turning it clockwise displays
a blank Waypoint Information Window, turning it counter-clockwise displays the WAYPOINT INFORMATION
Window with a waypoint selection submenu allowing selection of active flight plan, nearest, recent, user, or

4) Enter the identifier, facility, or city name of the departure waypoint or select a waypoint from the submenu of
waypoints and press the ENT Key. The active flight plan is modified as each waypoint is entered.

4) Turn the small FMS Knob to display the WAYPOINT INFORMATION Window. (Turning it clockwise displays a
blank WAYPOINT INFORMATION Window, turning it counter-clockwise displays the WAYPOINT INFORMATION

5) Enter the identifier, facility, or city name of the departure waypoint or select a waypoint from the submenu of
waypoints and press the ENT Key.
