5.4. Clearing a Plan for ReUse (Quick method)

Clearing a flight plan for re-use

If you’ve re-opened a flight plan that has been previously flown and you wish to use the same plan again, it will need to be cleared for re-use. There is a quick way of doing this:

Clear Plan options

1. Tap within the ETD (Estimated Time of Departure) field of the first stage.
2. Type in your new departure date/time. Tap the Return key.
3. The Clear Plan popup will appear. Select or Deselect the options depending on what you wish to clear. (This choice is remembered as a default for next time)
4. Tap Clear. The new time you typed in will be entered in the ETD field, the app will perform a recalculation of expected times using the predicted winds.
   

*The Clear Plan prompt is only displayed when the plan has actual times recorded and you are updating the ETD for the first leg of the flight. AvPlan checks to see if the plan has been activated/flown. If it has not, then there will not be a prompt.
However, you can force the prompt to display if you tap the Departure (or Next) button in the top button bar first and then change the ETD. The Departure/Next button action writes the current time to the departure waypoint ATA/ATD field. This is enough to trigger the “Clear Plan” prompt when you update the ETD.

*The Clear Plan prompt will only appear for the first stage of a plan. It will not appear when changing the ETD on subsequent stages.
