ALONG TRACK OFFSETS
A waypoint having an “along track offset” distance from an existing waypoint can be entered into a flight plan.  
Along track offset waypoints lie along the path of the existing flight plan, and can be used to make the system 
reach a specified altitude before or after reaching the specified flight plan waypoint.  Offset distances can be

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
entered from 1 to 99 nm in increments of 1 nm.  Entering a negative offset distance results in an along track 
offset waypoint inserted before the selected waypoint, whereas entering a positive offset distance results in an 
along track offset waypoint inserted after the selected waypoint.  Multiple offset waypoints are allowed.
A waypoint must be adjacent to its parent waypoint in the flight plan, so the system limits the along-track \
distance to less than the length of the leg before or after the selected waypoint.  If the selected waypoint is the 
active waypoint, the distance is limited to less than the distance to go\
 to the active waypoint.  Assigning an along 
track offset to a leg with indeterminate length is not permitted.  An along track offset is not allowed at or after 
the final approach fix of an approach.
An along track offset distance cannot be modified once entered.  If the along track offset distance must be 
changed, the existing along track offset waypoint must be deleted and a new one created with the new offset 
distance.

PARALLEL TRACK
The Parallel Track (PTK) feature allows creation of a parallel course offset of 1 to 50 nm left or right of the 
current flight plan.  When Parallel Track is activated, the course line drawn on the map pages shows the para\
llel 
course, and waypoint names have a lower case “p” placed after the \
identifier. 
Using direct-to, loading an approach, a holding pattern, or editing and activating the flight plan automatically 
cancels Parallel Track.  Parallel Track is also cancelled if a course change occurs greater than 120° or the parallel 
tracks overlap as a result of the course change. 
 NOTE:  Vertical navigation is unavailable while the Parallel Track feature is active.

FLIGHT PLAN VIEWS
Information about flight plans can be viewed in more than one way.  The active flight plan can be configured 
to show cumulative distance over the length of the flight plan or the \
distance for each leg of the flight plan; 
and the active flight plan can be viewed in a narrow or wide view. In the wide view, additional information is 
displayed: Fuel Remaining (FUEL REM), Estimated Time Enroute (ETE), Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), and 
Bearing to the waypoint (BRG).
Switching between leg-to-leg waypoint distance and cumulative waypoint d\
istance:
1) Press the FPL Key on the MFD to display the Active Flight Plan Page.
2) Select the VIEW Softkey to display the CUM and LEG-LEG Softkeys.
3) Select the CUM Softkey to view cumulative waypoint distance, or select the LEG-LEG Softkey to view leg-to-leg 
waypoint distance.
4) Select the BACK Softkey to return to the top level active flight plan softkeys.

COLLAPSING AIRWAYS
The G1000 allows airways on the active flight plan to be collapsed or expanded from the Active Flight Plan 
Page/Window.  When airways have been collapsed, it is indicated on the airway heading.
When airways are collapsed, leg-to-leg computed values such as DIS or ETE shown for the\
 exit waypoint 
reflect the total of all the legs on the airway that have been hidden in the collapsed display.  The DTK value is 
inhibited because it is not usable in this context.
The Active Flight Plan Page always keeps the following three waypoints visible:  “From” waypoint,  “To” 
waypoint, and “Next” waypoint.  To prevent one or more of these waypoints from being hidden in a collapsed 
airway segment, the airway segment that contains either the “To” or the “Next” waypoint is automatically 
expanded.  When an airway is loaded, airways are automatically expanded to facilitate flight plan review.
