FORANE,
Handling landing, as well as takeoff alternates is an important issue. What works well for me with the G units is to simply add in the routing to each alternate in flight plan slots 1 & 2. Then, it is relatively easy to select and activate a flight plan to an alternate when "in the crunch". Also, while I'm at it, at cruise I will add in the expected routing for my next leg, in flight plan slot 3 - saves time on the ground.
But, I also await a reply, to see how the 540 might handle it. * Orest Edited by oskrypuch - 20 Aug 2013 at 6:14pm |

Yes, you will be thrilled with how the IFD540 handles this situation. As with R9, the IFD540 FMS allows you to build a single flight plan with multiple airfields in it and each with a published approach (and missed approach) for exactly this type of scenario.
On every IFR flight I file/fly, I do include in my active flight plan the intended destination along with an associated approach procedure along with my planned alternate and any associated approach procedure for that location. There are no special steps I need to make in order for all of that to just be active.

OK Steve
To clarify, if one does not know which approach will be used, it allows the approach to be selected for the intermediate airport at any point during the flight even after the alternate (second airport) is in the flight plan? |
