APPROACH
NOTE:
If an approach contains a DME arc, the arc must be flown in Navigation Mode with the AFCS. When
receiving vectors from ATC, Navigation Mode must be selected prior to intercepting the ARC.
Flying an ILS approach:
1)
Transition from GPS Navigation Mode to Heading Select Mode.
a)
Select the Runway 35L ILS approach for KCOS and select ‘VECTORS’ for the transition. Load and activate the
approach into the flight plan.
b)
Use the
HDG
Knob to set the Selected Heading after getting vectors from ATC.
c)
Press the
HDG
Key. The autopilot turns the aircraft to the desired heading.
d)
Use Heading Select Mode to comply with ATC vectors as requested.
2)
Arm LOC Approach and Glideslope modes.
a)
Ensure the appropriate localizer frequency is tuned.
b)
Press the
APR
Key when cleared for approach to arm Approach and Glideslope modes. ‘LOC’ and ‘GS’ appear
in white as armed mode annunciations.
c)
The navigation source automatically switches to LOC. After this switch occurs, the localizer signal can be captured
and the autopilot and flight director determine when to begin the turn to intercept the final approach course. The
flight director now provides guidance to the missed approach point.
