14.4 Trip Planning
The GTN 6XX allows the pilot to view desired track (DTK), distance (DIS),
estimated time en route (ETE), en route safe altitude (ESA) and estimated time of
arrival (ETA) information for a direct-to, point-to-point between two specified
waypoints or for any programmed flight plan. This item also displays the sunrise/
sunset times for your destination waypoint (for the selected departure date). All
times are based on the time set in System-Setup. The trip planning inputs are
manually entered by the pilot.
The trip statistics are calculated based on the selected starting and ending
waypoints and the trip planning inputs.
In Flight Plan mode with a stored flight plan selected, and the entire flight
plan (CUM) selected, the waypoints are the starting and ending waypoints of the
selected flight plan.
In Flight Plan mode with a stored flight plan selected, and a specific leg
selected, the waypoints are the endpoints of the selected leg.
In Point-To-Point mode these are manually selected waypoints (if there is an
active flight plan, these default to the endpoints of the active leg).
Some of the calculated trip statistics are dashed when the selected leg of the
active flight plan has already been flown.

the local time at the destination.
- If in Point-To-Point mode then the ETA is the ETE added to the
departure time.
- If a flight plan other than the active flight plan is selected it shows the
ETA by adding to the departure time all of the ETEs of the legs up to
and including the selected leg. If the entire flight plan is selected, then
the ETA is calculated as if the last leg of the flight plan was selected.
