A 65Flight Planning Overview GPS Navigation Flight Planning Hazard Avoidance Additional Features Appendices IndexSECTION 3 FLIGHT PLANNING3.1 INTRODUCTIONFlight planning on the aera 795/796 consists of building a flight plan by enteringwaypoints one at a time and inserting approaches as needed.Up to 50 flight plans with up to 300 waypoints each can be created and stored inmemory. One flight plan can be activated at a time and becomes the active flight plan.The active flight plan is erased when the destination is reached and the system is turnedoff. When storing flight plans with an approach, the aera 795/796 uses the waypointinformation from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database ischanged or updated, the aera 795/796 automatically updates the information if theprocedure has not been modified. If an approach is no longer available, the procedureis deleted from the affected stored flight plan(s), and an alert is displayed.Whenever an approach is loaded into the active flight plan it replaces the destinationairport with a sequence of waypoints for the selected approach. The airport must havea published instrument approach and only the final course segment (usually from finalapproach fix to missed approach point) of the published approach is available in theaera 795/796.
