22 GIFD Pilot’s Training Guide 190-00368-05 Rev. BExercise 6.3: GPS Navigation1. Can a direct-to/flight plan be created using GPS on both the PFD and the MFD or must oneor the other be used (if so, which one)?Either display can be used for creating a GPS direct-to or flight plan; the dataautomatically cross-fills to the other display.2. Describe the process for canceling a direct-to.1. Press the Direct-to Key.2. Press the MENU Key.3. Use the FMS Knob to highlight the option “Cancel Direct-to Nav”.4. Press the ENT Key.3. Describe the process for entering a flight plan.1. Press the FPL Key on either display. When on the ground at start-up, thedeparture airport is automatically entered if the GPS has acquired a solution.2. Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor.3. Use the FMS Knob to enter a waypoint identifier (use the small knob to select acharacter and the large knob to change cursor location).4. Once an identifier is entered, press the ENT Key.5. Repeat the process on the next line. If installed, the alphanumeric keypad on anMFD or MFD/PFD Control Unit (GCU) can be used to enter flight planinformation.4. When flight plan information has been entered, does the GIFD System auto-sequence thewaypoints and does the autopilot continuously fly the programmed route?Yes, that is the key reason for planning function.5. Describe some of the advantages of flight planning as opposed to using continuous direct-tonavigation.Flight planning reduces workload during the enroute phase of flight, allows for smoothautopilot navigation, and minimizes the number of key presses when an assigned routechanges (for example, it allows one to skip waypoints in a SID or STAR, as instructed byATC, without losing the rest of the procedure).
