Append Plan is a very handy feature of Edit Mode. It allows you to extract waypoints from another plan and have them magically appear in your current one – without altering the original in any way!
Example Scenario 1:
You have a flight coming up. You’ve flown it previously, and don’t want to re-enter all the waypoints… but you also don’t wish lose the information saved in that earlier plan.
Tap ‘New Plan’.
Give the plan a description in the Flight Plan Description field.
Enter Edit Mode (the ‘folder’ icon, bottom-left of screen).
Tap ‘Append Plan’ from the buttons that appears where the Flight Plan Description field was – A pop-up list of your current collection of plans appears. Scroll through the list until you find the desired plan. Tap it.
After only a few seconds, the waypoints will appear in your new plan.
Tap the Edit Mode icon once again to exit that mode.
Continue your flight planning.
Enjoy!
Example Scenario 2:
You have two shorter plans that you’d like to put together into one long plan.
Open the first plan (i.e. the one that starts from your initial location) from the Stored Plans list.
Enter Edit Mode (the ‘folder’ icon, bottom-left of screen).
Tap ‘Append Plan’ – A pop-up list of your current collection of plans appears. Scroll through the list until you find the second plan. Tap it.
After only a few seconds, the waypoints will appear in order at the end of your current plan.
Tap the Edit Mode icon once again to exit that mode.
Continue your flight planning.
Enjoy!
