SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION

Flight Plans (FPL)

The GNS 530 lets the pilot create up to 20 ﬂight plans

with up to 31 waypoints in each ﬂight plan. Flight plans

are created, edited, and activated using the FPL Key. The

FPL Page Group includes two pages: the Active Flight Plan

Page and the Flight Plan Catalog Page (Figures 1-31 and

1-32). The Active Flight Plan Page provides information

and editing features for the ﬂight plan currently in use

(referred to as ‘ight plan 00’). The Flight Plan Catalog

Page serves as the main page for creating new ﬂight plans,

as well as editing or activating previously created ﬂight

plans.

Since using ﬂight plans is arguably one of the more

complex features of the GNS 530, it will be discussed only

brieﬂy here, with focus on creating a new ﬂight plan and

activating it to use for navigation. Answers to additional

questions about ﬂight plans not found in this brief

introduction can be found in Section 5, Flight Plans.

Creating a new ﬂight plan:

1) Press the FPL Key.

2) Turn the small right knob to select the Flight

Plan Catalog Page.

3) Press the MENU Key to display the Flight Plan

Catalog Page Menu (Figure 1-33).

4) Turn the large right knob to select ‘Create New

Flight Plan?’ and press the ENT Key.

5) The cursor appears on the ﬁrst waypoint identiﬁer

ﬁeld (located directly below ‘WAYPOINT’). Use

the large and small right knobs to enter the

identiﬁer of the ﬁrst waypoint in the ﬂight plan.

(The small knob is used to select the desired

letter or number and the large knob is used to

move to the next character space.)

6) Press the ENT Key once the identiﬁer has been

selected. The cursor moves to the next blank

waypoint identiﬁer ﬁeld.
