FLIGHT PLANS
Active Flight Plan Page Menu Options
Activate Leg
Activates/reactivates the flight plan and selects the highlighted leg as the ‘active leg’ (the leg
which is currently used for navigation guidance).
Crossfill
Allows the pilot to transfer the active flight plan between two 400- or 500-series Garmin units
in a dual unit installation. See Section 10.2, Flight Planning: Crossfill for additional information
on this feature.
Copy Flight Plan
Copies the active flight plan to a flight plan catalog location, as described previously in this
section. The copy function is useful for duplicating the active flight plan before making changes.
Invert Flight Plan
Reverses the active flight plan. See Section 5.1, Activating Flight Plans and Inverting Flight
Plans.
Delete Flight Plan
Allows the pilot to remove all waypoints from the selected flight plan, as described previously
in this section. Deleting a flight plan does not delete the waypoints contained in the flight plan
from the database or user waypoint memory.
Select Approach
Allows the pilot to select a published instrument approach for the destination airport, or replace
the current approach with a new selection. (In many cases, it is convenient to select approaches
using the PROC Key as described in Section 6.1.)
Select Arrival
Allows the pilot to select a published standard terminal arrival route (STAR) for the destination
airport or replace the current arrival with a new selection (Section 6.1 for information on
selecting arrivals using the PROC Key).
Select Departure
Allows the pilot to select a published standard instrument departure (SID) for the departure
airport or replace the current departure with a new selection. When using a direct-to, the GNS
530 uses the nearest airport as a reference when displaying available departures. See Section
6.1 for information on selecting departures using the PROC Key.
Remove Approach Deletes the currently selected approach from the active flight plan.
Remove Arrival Deletes the current STAR from the active flight plan.
Remove Departure Deletes the current SID from the active flight plan.
Closest Point of FPL
Calculates the bearing and closest distance that a flight plan passes from a reference waypoint.
May also be used to create a new user waypoint along the flight plan at the location closest to
the reference waypoint.
Change Fields
Allows the pilot to select the desired data items to display on the Active Flight Plan Page, as
described in this Section.
Restore Defaults Returns the data items to factory defaults, as described in this Section.
