Route – FlightSpan Documentation

The legs section is where you can:

Create, view and edit your route
Enter flight times, landings, block times, flight conditions, and approaches
Record engine starts
Assign leg purpose codes
Assign crew and crew roles at the individual leg level

Tap a route pair in the leg column to open the route screen. The arrival airport of the leg you tapped will be highlighted.

Add Destination Waypoints

There are several ways to add the desired waypoint:

First, you can select your destination from a scrolling list of waypoints. (If your company operates into more than approximately 250 different airports, the length of the scrolling list of airports can become unwieldy and you’ll likely find that using the search method is quicker.)

Tap the desired airport, and it will be inserted after the highlighted airport.

Note: Waypoint color code meanings are

Red = NOTAM, runway is closed
Yellow = Runway is open, but there is a NOTAM, runway inspection is due, or it has been more than 6 months since the last operation at this airport by your company
White = no NOTAMs, inspections, or recency of operations issues

If you prefer, you can display waypoint names with the identifiers.

A second way to insert a destination is by tapping the Search button and begin typing the name or identifier.

When searching, the waypoint name will always be displayed with the identifier.

Note: If you type the complete identifier and then the space bar, the waypoint will be entered.

A third way is the commonly used waypoints list at the top. (Favorites can be set in FlightSpan™ Ops.)

Note: If you can’t find an airport, check to make sure the elevation is set in FlightSpan™ Ops. The EFB will not allow you to plan flights to airports or LZs that don’t have elevation because it is required information.

If you wish to terminate the flight at the last destination entered, use the Done key. FlightSpan™ will automatically cycle to the NAV tab without adding any more waypoints.
