This message is automatically disabled within
30 nm of an arrival airport, when an approach is
loaded.
Invalid closest pt of FPL - A closest point
cannot be created from the waypoint entered on
the ‘Closest point of flight plan’ window. This
occurs when the selected waypoint is beyond the
limits of all legs in the flight plan, too far away,
or when a unique waypoint name for the closest
point cannot be created.
Invalid FPL modification - An attempt was
made to modify the final course segment (FAF to
MAP) of an instrument approach. The GNS 530
does not allow the modifications.
