FLIGHT PLAN (FPL) SELECTION
This procedure is used to transfer a stored FPL to active FPL status.
It is recommended that the initialization position and the first waypoint
of the Active Flight Plan are the same so that the TO/FROM Leg
Distance displays the correct information. The DIRECT TO function to
the first waypoint on the flight plan may also be used to insure dis-
tance accuracy.
If a stored flight plan is currently displayed, proceed to Step 5.
