ACTIVATING A FLIGHT PLAN
When a flight plan is entered on the ground, the flight plan will be
inactive and no guidance will be provided. To activate the flight
plan, press the "Activate Route" LSK. If the flight plan is not
activated and the aircraft reaches a threshold groundspeed of
approximately 40 knots, the IFD will automatically activate the
flight plan. A flight plan that was created by pressing the
"Activate Route" LSK for a stored route on the ROUTE tab will be
automatically activated.
FLIGHT PLAN SEQUENCING
The FMS assumes that the pilot will fly the flight plan as defined.
If that does not occur, legs may not sequence as expected.
Therefore, to manually sequence the desired leg, select it by
either using the bottom right knob or touch it and press the
“Activate Leg” LSK followed by accepting the confirm dialog box
when it is displayed. Doing so will turn that leg magenta,
confirming that it is now the active leg.
