Active Route Page

Whenever you start a route (flight plan) or initiate a Go To while

in Aviation or Marine Mode, the Active Route Page shows each

point (waypoint or map item) of the active route, with the point

name, Course, Distance, and several other fields of information. The

current destination point, the active point, is marked with an arrow.

As you navigate a route, the list automatically updates to indicate the

active point first. The Active Route and Route Review Pages share

many of the same features and options.
Press PAGE repeatedly to open the Active Route Page.

NOTE: If you have created a route (Flight Plan) with a

Jeppesen point that is no longer current after you perform an

update to your Jeppesen Database, the route is locked. You need

to create a new route with current Jeppesen Database points.

Active Route Page Options

Press MENU while on the Active Route Page to open the options

menu. You can edit the route using many of the options in the menu

such as Edit on Map (see

page 72

for information), Add Waypoint,

and Invert. You can also change the data fields to suit your needs.
You can also select an approach for your landing and set your fuel

flow (or plan your route, based on your current Usage Mode):
Select Approach—(Aviation Only) allows you to select the

final course segment of a published approach, replacing the

final destination airport in a Go To or route with the sequence of

waypoints for the selected approach. The approaches provide only

the final course segment, usually from final approach fix (FAF)

to missed approach point (MAP), and are based on existing GPS,

RNAV, VOR, NDB, localizer, or ILS approach procedures. All

approach procedures are flown as a sequence of waypoints in the

route. To select an approach and add the waypoints to the route,

the final destination in the Go To or route must be an airport with a

published approach.
Set Fuel Flow (Plan Route)—allows you to enter information about

your aircraft and route.
