I'm wondering if anyone in this great body of aeronautical knowledge can answer a question for me. My second (lower) Garmin 430 always gives me the message "FLP waypoint locked." I think This message started after I wired the two gps' to accept the "cross fill" function - which the previous owner had not done. Wiring instruction pin setup from the Garmin installation manual was followed and I even talked to Jason at Aerotronics for guidance since they were the folks who built the panel and did the initial wiring per the builder's wishes.
Both gps' work normal and when I load a flight plan in the top G430 and then "crossfill" it to the bottom G430 everything works as advertised except I still get the "FLP waypoint locked" message. Both data cards take Jeppesen updates without any problem so I'm pretty sure the cards are okay.
When I talked to Garmin about this they weren't much help. I guess I got a dumb tech representative because he couldn't give me a reason other that the book message definition. He didn't say whether this was normal but usually messages to me indicate a problem.
Is this message normal? All information is appreciated.
