## F-PLN

Press **FPL**. The page title is **ACTIVE FLT PLAN**, or **MOD ACTIVE FPL** while a modification is pending.

**PREV / NEXT** scroll the legs. Related pages include **MISSED APPROACH** and **ALTERNATE FPL**.

### Leg edits

**Left LSKs** (adjacent to the waypoint):

* Empty scratchpad — **DIR TO** that waypoint (or change an existing direct-to). Direct-to can show **CRS/RAD**, **INTC CRS**, and **ABEAM PTS**.
* Ident in the scratchpad — insert or replace the waypoint.
* Airway entry — insert along an airway (invalid entries show **INVALID AIRWAY ENTRY** / **AWY NOT IN DATABASE**).
* `*HOLD*` or `*FLYOVER*` in the scratchpad (from NAV / PATTERNS) — apply that pattern to the selected fix.
* **DEL** (`*DELETE*`) — delete the waypoint / discontinuity as allowed.

**Right LSKs** — speed and altitude constraints (CAS, Mach, or altitude). Invalid values post **INVALID ENTRY**.

Typical scratchpad alerts: **NOT IN DATABASE**, **NOT ALLOWED**.

### ACTIVATE / CANCEL

After an edit, **ACTIVATE** (LSK 6R) makes the MOD plan active. **CANCEL** discards it.

Other bottom prompts appear by phase: **DEPARTURE**, **ARRIVAL**, **TAKEOFF**, **LANDING**, **PERF INIT**, **DES NOW**, **MISSED APPR**, **EXIT** / **RESUME HOLD**.

### Direct-to

There is no DIR function key. Use a left LSK on the desired fix with an empty scratchpad.

### Holds from the flight plan

1. **NAV** → **HOLD**, or **NAV** → **PATTERNS** → **HOLD**. Scratchpad shows `*HOLD*`.
2. Press the left LSK next to the holding fix.
3. Complete **HOLDING PATTERN**, then **INSERT/APPLY**.
4. **ACTIVATE** the MOD plan.

See Holdings for parameters and exit (**EXIT** / **RESUME HOLD**).
