FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
The active flight plan is listed on the active Flight Plan Page on the\
 MFD,  and in the Active Flight Plan 
Window on the PFD.  It is the flight plan to which the G1000 is currently providing guidance, and is shown 
on the navigation maps.  Stored flight plans are listed on the Flight Plan Catalog Page, and are available for 
activation (becomes the active flight plan).
Creating an active flight plan:
1) Press the FPL Key.
2) Press the  FMS Knob to activate the cursor (only on MFD).
3) Turn the small FMS Knob to display the Waypoint Information Window. (Turning it clockwise displays a blank 
Waypoint Information Window, turning it counter-clockwise displays the Waypoint Information Window 
with a waypoint selection submenu allowing selection of active flight plan, nearest, recent, user, or airway 
waypoints).
4) Enter the identifier, facility, or city name of the departure waypoint or select a waypoint from the submenu of  
waypoints and press the ENT Key.  The active flight plan is modified as each waypoint is entered.
5) Repeat step numbers 3 and 4 to enter each additional flight plan waypoint.
6) When all waypoints have been entered, press the FMS Knob to remove the cursor.
Creating a stored flight plan:
1) Press the FPL Key.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob clockwise to display the Flight Plan Catalog Page. 
3) Select the NEW Softkey; or press the MENU Key, highlight ‘Create New Flight Plan’, and press the ENT Key to 
display a blank flight plan for the first empty storage location.
4) Turn the small FMS Knob to display the Waypoint Information Window. (Turning it clockwise displays a blank 
Waypoint Information Window, turning it counter-clockwise displays the Waypoint Information Window 
with a waypoint selection submenu allowing selection of active flight plan, nearest, recent, user, or airway 
waypoints).
5) Enter the identifier, facility, or city name of the departure waypoint or select a waypoint from the submenu of  
waypoints and press the ENT Key.
6) Repeat step numbers 4 and 5 to enter each additional flight plan waypoint.
7) When all waypoints have been entered, press the FMS Knob to return to the Flight Plan Catalog Page.  The new 
flight plan is now in the list.

 NOTE:  If the imported flight plan contains a waypoint with a name that duplicates the name of a waypoint 
already stored on the system, the system compares the coordinates of the imported waypoint with those of 
the existing waypoint.  If the coordinates are different, the imported waypoint is automatically renamed by 
adding characters to the end of the name.

ADDING WAYPOINTS TO AN EXISTING FLIGHT PLAN
Waypoints can be added to the active flight plan or any stored flight plan.  Choose the flight plan, select the 
desired point of insertion, enter the waypoint, and it is added in front of the selected waypoint.  Flight plans 
are limited to 99 waypoints (including waypoints within airways and procedures). If the number of waypoints 
in the flight plan exceeds 99, the message “Flight plan is full. Re\
move unnecessary waypoints.” appears and the 
new waypoint(s) are not added to the flight plan.

4) Turn the small FMS Knob to display the Waypoint Information Window. (Turning it clockwise displays a blank 
Waypoint Information Window, turning it counter-clockwise displays the Waypoint Information Window with a 
waypoint selection submenu allowing selection of active flight plan, nearest, recent, user, or airway waypoints).
5) Enter the identifier, facility, or city name of the waypoint or select a waypoint from the submenu of waypoints 
and press the ENT Key.  The active flight plan is modified as each waypoint is entered.
Creating and adding user waypoints to the active flight plan:
1) Press the Joystick to activate the panning function on the Active Flight Plan Page and pan to the map location 
of the desired user waypoint.
2) Select the LD WPT Softkey; or press the MENU Key, select ‘Load Waypoint’, and press the ENT Key.  The user 
waypoint is created with a name of USRxxx (using the next available in sequence) and is added to the end of 
the active flight plan.
ADDING AIRWAYS TO A FLIGHT PLAN
Airways can be added to the active flight plan or any stored flight plan.  Choose a flight plan (add the desired 
airway entry point if not already in the flight plan), select the waypoint after the desired airway entry point, 
select the airway, and it is added in front of the selected waypoint.  An airway can only be loaded if there is a 
waypoint in the flight plan that is part of the desired airway and is not part of an arrival or approach procedure. 
The G1000 also anticipates the desired airway and exit point based on loaded flight plan waypoints.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
Adding an airway to a flight plan:
1) Press the FPL Key.
2) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor (not required on the PFD). 
3) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the waypoint after the desired airway entry point.  If this waypoint is not 
a valid airway entry point, a valid entry point should be entered at this time.
4) Turn the small FMS Knob one click clockwise and select the LD AIRWY Softkey, or press the MENU Key and 
select “Load Airway”. The Select Airway Page is displayed.  The LD AIRWY Softkey or the “Load Airway” menu 
item is available only when a valid airway entry waypoint has been chosen (the waypoint ahead of the cursor 
position). 
5) Turn the FMS Knob to select the desired airway from the list, and press the ENT Key.  Low altitude airways are 
shown first in the list, followed by “all” altitude airways, and then high altitude airways.
6) Turn the FMS Knob to select the desired airway exit point from the list, and press the ENT Key. ‘LOAD?’ is 
highlighted.
7) Press the ENT Key. The system returns to editing the flight plan with the new airway inserted.

RESTRICTIONS  ON ADDING AIRWAYS
Some airways have directional restrictions on all or part of the route.  Airway “A2” in Europe has a directional 
restriction over the whole route such that it can be flown only in the direction MTD-ABB-BNE-DEVAL.
Airway “UR975” in North Africa has more complicated directional restrictions within the list of airway 
waypoints AMANO, VAKOR, LIBRO, NELDA, DIRKA, GZO, KOSET, and SARKI:
•	 Starting	from	AMANO,	the	airway	can	be	flown	only	to	LIBRO.
•	 Starting	from	SARKI,	the	airway	can	be	flown	only	to	LIBRO.
•	 Between	NELDA	and	GZO,	the	airway	can	be	flown	in	either	direction.
In the US, airways that are “one-way” for specified hours of operation are not uncommon.  These airways 
are always bidirectional in the G1000 database.
The	
system	 only	allows	 correct	 airway	sequences	 to	be	 inserted.		 If	the	 pilot	 subsequently	 inverts	the	flight	
plan,	the	system	inverts	the	airway	waypoint	sequence	and	removes	the	airway	header.

ADDING PROCEDURES TO A STORED FLIGHT PLAN
The G1000 allows the pilot to insert pre-defined instrument procedures from the navigation database into a 
flight plan. The procedures are designed to facilitate routing of traffic leaving an airport (departure), arriving at 
an airport (arrival), and landing at an airport (approach). See the procedures section for more details.
