Garmin G1000 gets airways

That must be it: I was doing it from the PFD FPL.

Got it to work, though!

Thanks,

OK, I couldn't wait, so on the way to work this morning I went and fired up
the G1000 on the ramp.

The airways flightplan feature worked fine once I figured out that there was
an error in the new Garmin Cockpit Reference Guide. It mentions a "Load
Airways" softkey that never appears, and fails to mention that you have to
press the MENU hardkey at some point to get the "Load Airways" option. Don't
they user-test these manuals?

Short story: you put in the entry fix, airway id and exit point (from a menu)
and you're done. The airway id.exit fix is then in your flight plan. The
airway is in white, with its number, on the course line on the moving map.

Does it populate every fix along the airway from ABC to XYZ?

Not on the map. When you're doing the airway exit part of the flight plan,
it nominates all the waypoints on the portion you will be flying.

Yep, it puts every fix from entry to exit in the flight plan.

The recently issued revision to the G1000 software includes an upgrade to
permit loading airways into flightpans.

The upgrade is free to 2004, 2005 and 2006 Cessna G1000 owners, including a
labor allowance for installation. Mine was installed today; I'll report on
how it works this weekend.

This upgrade must be specific for just the Cessna G1000, because I
have not received any notification for my G1000 equipped DA42. I will
probably have to wait forever for Diamond to upgrade us with airways
and WAAS.

On the flightplan I entered this morning. It listed

KBFM LOXLY V198.QUINCY KTLH

The fixes between LOXLY and QUINCY were not shown.

On the 480, there's an expand (XPND) function which toggles between just
showing the airway endpoints and showing all the intermediate fixes.
Perhaps there is the same on the 1000?

Perhaps.

I'm taking the new SW on a shakedown cruise tomorrow. I'll check it and see.

I don't know about Garmin but the ARINC format for that route would be:

KBFM..LOXY..V198.QUINCY..KTLH

(two dots for direct)

What is QUINCY? I can't locate it, and I thought all intersections were
five characters.
