So I put all the airports in a flight plan before takeoff (doesn't matter the
order). Then at any time you can call up the flight plan and with the

curser
select any of the airports and do a "direct to". Then select the approach

and
you are finished. After the first approach select the flight plan again,
curser to the next airport, "direct to",etc. Sure faster that entering the
next airport identifier one character at a time.


On the GX50/GX60, the airport has to be the last element in the flight plan
in
order to load an approach for it. Evidently that's not true for the 430.


Same with the 430 if you are flying the flight plan. I am using the flight
plan only to store the identifiers ( which I can load before the takeoff). For
each approach I bring up the flight plan, curser to the airport of choice, and
do a "direct to". The flight plan remains stored to be used for the next
approach by again cursering to the airport of choice, etc.
