Airport Approach Options
NOTE:
Not all approaches in the database are ap-
proved for GPS use. As you select an approach, a
“
G
P
S
” designation to the right of the procedure name
indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS re-
ceiver. Some procedures do not have this designation,
meaning the GPS receiver may be used for supple-
mental navigation guidance only. ILS approaches, for
example, must be flown by tuning the VLOC receiver to
the proper frequency and coupling the VLOC receiver to
the external CDI (or HSI).
