RNAV Approach Procedures
The 500W-series allows for flying LNAV, LNAV/VNAV, LNAV + V, LP, and LPV approaches according to the
published chart.

Annunciation
Description Minimums
L/VNAV Lateral Navigation/Vertical Navigation. RNAV non-precision approach with advisory
vertical guidance. Published LNAV/VNAV
minimums.
LNAV Lateral Navigation. RNAV non-precision approach. Published LNAV mini-
mums.
LNAV + V Lateral Navigation with Advisory Vertical Guidance. RNAV non-precision LNAV
approach with advisory vertical guidance. The glidepath is typically denoted by
a light dashed line on the vertical profile (Jeppeson only) with an associated
glidepath angle (usually in the 3.00 degree range) and is provided to assist the
pilot in maintaining a constant vertical glidepath, similar to an ILS glideslope. Published LNAV mini-
mums.
LPV Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV) approach.
RNAV precision approach. Published LPV mini-
mums.
LP LP indicates Localizer Performance with no vertical guidance. Published LP minimums.
NOTE : Minimums will be controlling, do not descend
below applicable minimum descent altitude or decision
height until criteria of FAR 91.175 are met.
Points to Remember for ALL Approaches
• The 500W-series unit is designed to complement
your printed approach plates and vastly improve
situational awareness throughout the approach.
However,
you must always fly an approach as it appears
on the approach plate
.
• The active leg (or the portion of the approach cur-
rently in use) is depicted in magenta on the Map
Page. As you fly the approach, the 500W-series
unit automatically sequences through each leg of
the approach unless “SUSP” appears above the
OBS key. “SUSP” indicates that automatic sequenc-
ing of approach waypoints is suspended on the
current leg and normally appears at holding pat-
terns and upon crossing the missed approach point
(MAP).
“SUSP” indicates that automatic sequencing
of approach waypoints is suspended. In some
instances “SUSP” automatically cancels (hold-
ing pattern entry). In other cases, press OBS to
manually cancel.
• For roll steering autopilots: roll steering is terminated
when approach mode is selected on the autopilot and
is available once the missed approach is initiated.
• If Vectors-to-Final is activated while on the “FROM”
side of the FAF, automatic waypoint sequencing is
