The pilot interface for visual approaches is an extension of the normal
approach selection method. At the end of the list of instrument approaches,
there will be a set of visual approaches added. Nominally, there will be a
visual approach listed for each runway end. The approaches will be labeled
with the name VISUAL and the runway number.
Each visual approach has two transitions, the straight in transition and the
Vectors--to--Final transition. The transitions will be labeled STRAIGHT and
VECTORS, respectively. The FMS creates the VISUAL approach waypoints
(fixes) based on the runway position and course specified in the navigation
database. These are defined in the following table:
Fix Identifier Description Distance
to runway
RWxxx Runway fix defined in the navigation database. “xxx” is the
runway number and suffix (e.g. RW19L). N/A
FINAL The roll-out from the turn to the final approach course is
accomplished as this fix is sequenced. 3.5 Nm
STRGHT Initial fix for the straight-in transition. 6 Nm
The waypoints created by the FMS to define a VISUAL approach are fixes
stored in the flight plan. When the approach is no longer a part of a flight plan,
these waypoints are deleted. A VISUAL approach can be inserted onto the
Active Flight Plan or the Standby Flight Plan. A VISUAL approach can also be
inserted into a stored flight plan or copied to a stored flight plan in the course
of saving the active or standby flight plan.
CDI and VDI indications are equivalent to those of other GPS--based
approaches (e.g.-- LPV or L/VNAV magenta annunciation). The GIFD
annunciates VISUAL in magenta in the HSI to indicate a visual approach is
active.
