Flight Plan Modification Pages
Flight plan modifications may be performed by making changes on the preflight
and flight planning and performance pages. This entails working through special
pages, the lateral revision (LAT REV) and vertical revision (VERT REV) pages,
and subordinate pages which provide special capabilities. Some of the operations
presented here as flight plan modifications can also be part of the initial flight
planning process. They are carried out through use of the LAT REV and VERT
REV pages.
Other means of modifying the flight plan exist, including provisions for
performing a direct to (a waypoint or intercept course) maneuver, inserting and
then activating a secondary flight plan, or by making direct entries on the F-PLN
pages.
Flight planning and the flight plan modification are supported by provisions for
storing and using flight crew-defined waypoints.
