Load flight plan into X-Plane FMS

Once you have generated your flight plan, you can seamlessly load it into X-Plane’s default Flight Management System (FMS) and take to the skies directly from there.

Alternatively to this manual section, you can watch the video tutorial: How to load a flight plan into X-Plane FMS.

Export flight plan

Prior to load your flight plan into X-Plane’s Flight Management System (FMS), they have to be exported in the designated directory: <X-Plane>/Output/FMS plans. More information can be found in the export section of the manual.
