FLIGHT PLANS
The ‘Activate Leg?’ option is discussed previously in
this section, which allows the pilot to specify which leg of
the flight plan is used for navigation guidance. A shortcut
also exists for this operation, using the Direct-to Key.
Activating a specific leg of the active flight
plan:
1) Press the small right knob to activate the
cursor and turn the large right knob to
highlight the desired destination waypoint.
2) Press the Direct-to Key twice to display an
‘Activate Leg’ confirmation window (Figure
5-35).

3) With ‘Activate?’ highlighted, press the ENT
Key.
When using instrument procedures, this feature can be
used not only to activate a specific point-to-point leg, but
to also activate the procedure turn portion of an approach,
follow a DME arc, or activate a holding pattern.
Any approach, departure, or arrival can be reviewed on
the appropriate airport page in the Waypoint Page Group
(Section 7.1).
Reviewing a procedure while viewing a
flight plan page:
1) With a flight plan page displayed, press the
small right knob to activate the cursor.
2) Turn the large right knob to highlight the
procedure header (Figure 5-36).
