FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
Figure 5-70 Loading Visual Approach
APPROACH SELECTION AND REMOVAL
Whenever an approach is selected, the choice to either ‘Load’ or ‘Activate’ is given. ‘Load’ adds the approach
to the end of the flight plan without immediately using it for navigation guidance. This allows continued
navigation via the intermediate waypoints in the original flight plan, but keeps the procedure available for
quick activation when needed. ‘Activate’ also adds the procedure to the end of the flight plan but immediately
begins to provide guidance to the first waypoint in the approach.
In many cases, it may be easiest to load the full approach while still some distance away, enroute to the
destination airport. Later, if vectored to final, use the steps below to select ‘Activate Vector-To – Final’ —
which makes the inbound course to the FAF waypoint active.
NOTE:
The popup message ‘NOT APPROVED FOR GPS’ will be generated when selecting a NAVAID exclusive
approach. This message is intended for localizer-based approaches. Refer to the current flight manual and
applicable regulations for information on approach navigation requirements.
NOTE:
If there is no arrival procedure in the active flight plan, loading an approach to a flight plan in which
the destination airport has already been entered, will result in the previously entered destination airport
followed by the newly loaded approach.
