From the map screen we have selected APP PLATE, selected the RNAV 35 approach plate, and then used
the knob to scroll and zoom the approach plate. The map screen will remember the current plate and scroll
position making it very easy to switch back and forth from the map screen to the approach plate. From the
approach plate we see that we need to be at 3700Ft between EMADE and DUBMY and we have set the
altitude bug to 3700 ft. Again, the autopilot mode is NAV for lateral and ARM for vertical, the autopilot is
following the GNAV1 flight plan for lateral and using the altitude bug for vertical. We have also set the
Minimums bug ( SET > MINA middle knob) to 450ft.
From the approach plate we see that we now need to be at 2500Ft at HITAK and we need to set the altitude
bug to 2500 ft. The autopilot vertical is still in ARM waiting for vertical guidance from the IFD540.
After passing HITAK we start getting vertical guidance from the IFD540 and it switches from Vertical ARM to
Vertical NAV. At this point the autopilot will hold altitude until the vertical deviation indicator is centered. Once
the VDI is centered, the autopilot will capture the glide-slope and hold it centered while descending.
