CLOSEST POINT OF FPL

‘Closest Point of FPL’ calculates the bearing and closest distance at which a flight plan passes a reference waypoint, and creates a new user waypoint along the flight plan at the location closest to a chosen reference waypoint.

Determining the closest point along the active flight plan to a selected waypoint:

1)Press the FPL Key to display the Active Flight Plan Page (MFD) or the Active Flight Plan Window (PFD)

2)Press the MENU Key, highlight ‘Closest Point of FPL’’, and press the ENT Key. A window appears with the reference waypoint field highlighted.

3)Enter the identifier of the reference waypoint and press the ENT Key. The G1000 displays the bearing (BRG) and distance (DIS) to the closest point along the flight plan to the selected reference waypoint and creates a user waypoint at this location. The name for the new user waypoint is derived from the identifier of the reference waypoint.
