Press the EXTERNALSoftkey to return to the external GPS navigator’s flight plan.NOTE: While navigating using an external GPS navigation source, the abilityto edit/invert/delete the Active Flight Plan or activate a Saved Flight Plan isdisabled.NOTE: The Saved Flight Plan Page is not available from the full-screen PFD.Flight planning on the G3X consists of building a flight plan by entering waypointsone at a time and inserting approaches as needed. The flight plan is displayed onmaps using different line widths, colors, and types, based on the type of leg and thesegment of the flight plan currently being flown.Up to 50 flight plans with up to 300 waypoints each can be created and storedin memory. One flight plan can be activated at a time and becomes the active flightplan. The active flight plan is erased when the destination is reached and the systemis turned off. When storing flight plans with an approach, the G3X uses the waypointinformation from the current database to define the waypoints. If the database ischanged or updated, the G3X automatically updates the information if the procedurehas not been modified. If an approach is no longer available, the procedure is deletedfrom 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 if anexternal navigator (i.e., GTN or GNS Series) is not configured.
