Approach operations on the 500W-series units
typically begin with the same basic steps:
Basic Steps for Using Approaches
DO NOT USE FOR
NAVIGATION
1. Select the destination airport using the
direct-
to key, or as the last waypoint in the active
flight plan.
2. Choose the “Select Approach?” option from
the Procedures Page or from the Active Flight
Plan Options.
3. “Load” the approach (often while en route) in
anticipation of its future use. This places the
approach in the active flight plan, but retains
course guidance in the en route section until
the approach is “Activated”.
4. “Activate” the full approach or vectors-to-final,
as appropriate. In some scenarios, you may find
it more convenient to immediately activate
the approach and skip the “Load” process
outlined above in step #3. The 500W-series
units provide both options.
Approaches with Procedure Turns
The procedure turn portion of an approach is
stored as one of the legs of the approach. For this
reason, the 500W-series unit requires no special opera-
tions from the pilot — other than flying the procedure
turn itself — beyond what is required for any other
type of approach. Roll steering is provided to aircraft
with compatible autopilots.
