Deleting the flight plan  
I f the flight plan is activated:  
You can only delete a flight plan that has already been activated if you are on the ground. If you  
need to make a change in the air (e.g. new destination airport), you can do this using the RTE2  
function. (see Alternative route (RTE2)).  
If you are on the ground, you can simply overwrite the entries for ORIG and DEST with a new  
entry (e.g. EDDF). On the DEP/ARR page you will then find the corresponding approach and  
departure procedures for the newly entered start or destination point.  
If the flight plan is not yet activated:  
1. press RTE  
2. press LSK4 (ERASE RTE)  
3. press EXEC  
Direct-To  
Direct-to a waypoint in the active route:  
1. Display LEGS page by pressing LEGS  
2. Display the desired waypoint by pressing NEXT or PREV as required  
3. Key in, or copy the waypoint identifier into the scratchpad by pressing the  
appropriate LSK  
4. Return to the first LEGS page by pressing LEGS or PREV as required  
5. Move the waypoint identifier to the TO WPT field by pressing LSK1

2. Display the first LEGS page by pressing LEGS  
3. Move the waypoint identifier to the TO WPT field by pressing LSK1  
4. Verify the inbound course and distance of the leg tho TO WPT and press EXEC  
RTE 2 Option  
The CMA 9000 offers you the option of creating two independent routes  
simultaneously (RTE 1 and RTE 2), whereby only one of the two routes can be  
activated as an active flight plan. The other flight plan is saved as an inactive route.  
The inactive route can either be created manually or selected from the custom routes.  
It can also be copied from the active route. The procedures for creating, selecting or  
editing the inactive route are identical to those described for the active route.  
Note: The inactive route is always displayed in monochrome cyan so that it can be  
clearly distinguished from the active route.  
Edit an inactive route:  
1. display the active route by pressing RTE  
2. go to the menu navigation of the inactive route by pressing LSK6 (RTE2)  
3. the inactive route can now be manipulated directly via the RTE, LEGS, DEP/ARR and HOLD pages, as already described for the active route  
Note: Any changes to the inactive route are either confirmed via the respective LSK with “CONFIRM” or deleted with “CANCEL”. You cannot  
execute an EXEC command here.  
Activate an inactive route:  
1. go to the routes menu by pressing RTE  
2. if you are not yet in the area of the inactive route, press LSK6 (RTE 2 or RTE 1, depending on which route is active)  
3. you are now in the area of the inactive route (monochrome cyan). To activate the inactive route, press RSK6 “ACTIVATE”.  
Copying an active route:  
1. to copy an active route to an inactive route, press LSK5 (“RTE COPY”) on the side of the inactive route (cyan). The active route remains  
untouched and will continue to be used for navigation.  
2. press RSK6 (“CONFIRM”) to copy the route  
Note: A copied route always contains the last status of the active route including the current TO waypoint and all subsequent  
waypoints. Waypoints that have already been overflown are not copied.
