FMS Flight Plan Introduction

TAB

Following power­on, the first time the
“FPL” tab of the FMS
page is accessed,

an empty flight plan

This FMS uses a database of published airways to quickly build
long flight plans. Here’s how: When a flight plan waypoint is a valid

airway entry point, a dropdown list of available airways appears.
Scroll to the desired exit point, and all intermediate intersections
along that airway are automatically populated into the flight plan.

Using IFD100 iPad App

It is important to note the NAV databases of your IFD5XX and your IFD100
App must match, in that they must be the same cycle (have the same

expiration date). If you are not seeing a Flightplan on your IFD100 after
launch and you know your WiFi connection is good, it’s most likely that
these do not match. You can verify database expiration dates by going to
Go to AUX->SETUP and ‘Status - Databases’ page (LSK2).
