Flying an ILS Approach
The EXP5000 is designed to take full advantage of the auto transition
capability of the Navigator systems for flying a GPS flight plan ending
in an ILS approach. In this case, the horizontal deviation indicator
(HDI) and vertical deviation indicator (VDI) windows are displayed on
the ADI.
The CDI course is automatically set to the inbound localizer course
resulting in a hands-free transition.
As long as you select a localizer or ILS via the EXP5000
Nav
button,
the HDI and VDI will automatically display when applicable localizer
and glideslope signals are received. No pilot action is required for the
HDI and VDI to display.
Avidyne recommends that you set the inbound course using the
EXP5000 Course Set knob to serve as reference during the localizer
intercept and tracking. This is automatic if the Navigator system has
been set to Autoslew. The CDI deflection will be driven by the
localizer signal itself, regardless of the course setting.
