STORE FLIGHT PLAN

The active flight plan is erased when the G900X is powered off or when another flight plan is activated. 

When storing flight plans with an approach, departure or arrival, the G900X uses the waypoint information 

from the current database to define the waypoints in the flight plan.  If the navigation database is changed 

or updated, the G900X automatically updates the information if the procedure has not been modified.  If an 

approach, departure or arrival procedure is no longer available, the flight plan becomes “locked” until the 

procedure is deleted from the flight plan or until the correct navigation database is installed.

Storing a flight plan:

1) 

From the Flight Plan Window (once all of the waypoints have been entered), press the 

MENU 

Key to display the 

page menu.

2) 

Select ‘Store Flight Plan’.

3) 

Press the 

ENT

 Key.  The Store Flight Plan Window is displayed with ‘OK’ highlighted.  

4) 

Press the 

ENT

 Key to store the flight plan in the next available memory slot.
