General
The flight plan page A lists all waypoints of the active flight plan in sequence, providing time, speed, and altitude predictions. The FROM waypoint (last waypoint overflown) is listed at the top, and the TO waypoint is listed in white as the second entry. This FROM-TO is called the active leg. To scroll through the flight plan, the vertical slew keys can be used. To return to the beginning of the flight plan page, the F-PLNkey can be pressed. The AIRPORT key serves as a fast slew key.

The FIX INFO pages are used to create waypoint intersections of the flight plan with radials, radii, and abeam intercept points associated with a waypoint. See Feature Guide: Fix Info The FIX INFO pages can be accessed from the LAT REV page of the FROM waypoint. 1. REF FIX (1L) 1.1. When the FIX INFO page is first accessed, amber boxes are displaye...
The HOLD page is used to enter a holding pattern for a waypoint. The HOLD page can be accessed from the LAT REV page of the FROM waypoint. See or guide for HOLDS.

The crew calls up this page, by pressing the AIRWAYS key (5R) on the LAT REV page. 1. TITLE 1.1. “AIRWAYS from XXX”, XXX: Revised waypoint ident (large green font). 2. VIA (1L to 5L) 2.1. Displays empty brackets f...
This page enables the pilot to insert up to four geographic step points and one optimal step point into the flight plan. This page also displays the fuel/time savings associated with the optional step.The crew calls it up from the vertical revision page. 1. TITLE 1.1. STEP ALTS followed by the current cruise altitude. 2. ALT/WPT Lines (1L to 4L) 2....
