ASYSTEMOVERVIEWFLIGHTINSTRUMENTSEISAUDIO PANEL& CNSFLIGHTMANAGEMENTHAZARDAVOIDANCEAFCSADDITIONALFEATURESAPPENDICESINDEX178FLIGHT MANAGEMENTWhenever an approach, departure, or arrival procedure is loaded into the active flight plan, a set of approach,departure, or arrival waypoints is inserted into the flight plan along with a header line describing the instrumentprocedure the pilot selected. The original enroute portion of the flight plan remains active (unless an instrumentprocedure is activated) when the procedure is loaded.When the database is updated, the airways need to be reloaded also. Each airway segment is reloaded fromthe database given the entry waypoint, the airway identifier and the exit waypoint. This reloads the sequence ofwaypoints between the entry and exit waypoints (the sequence may change when the database is updated). Theupdate of an airway can fail during this process. If that happens, the airway waypoints are changed to regular(non-airway) flight plan waypoints, and an alert is displayed (see Miscellaneous Messages in Appendix A).The following could cause the airway update to fail:• Airway identifier, entry waypoint or exit waypoint not found in the new database.• Airway entry/exit waypoint is not an acceptable waypoint for the airway – either the waypoint is no longer onthe airway, or there is a new directional restriction that prevents it being used.• Loading the new airway sequence would exceed the capacity of the flight plan.FLIGHT PLAN CREATIONThere are three methods to create or modify a flight plan:• Active Flight Plan Page on the MFD (create/modify the active flight plan)• Active Flight Plan Window on the PFD (create/modify the active flight plan)• Flight Plan Catalog Page on the MFD (create/modify a stored flight plan)Figure 5-47 Active Flight Plan PageActive FPL Waypoint List- Comment- Procedure Header- Waypoint Identifier- Airway Identifier- Desired Track to Waypoint- Distance to Waypoint- Waypoint Altitude ConstraintVertical Navigation Profile- Active Vertical WPT Alt/ID- Time to Top of Descent- Vertical Speed Target- Flight Path Angle- Vertical Speed Target- Vertical DeviationActive FlightPlan LegTurn AnticipationArcNon-Active,Flight Plan Leg
