SELECTING APPROACHES
In order to select an approach, there must be an active
flight plan or direct-to which terminates at an airport with
a published approach.
To select an approach:
1. Press the PROC key to display the Procedures
Page. Turn the
large FMS
knob to highlight
‘Select Approach’ and press the
ENT
key. The
approach procedure window appears.
2. Turn the FMS knob to select the desired
approach and press the ENT key. The transition
window appears.
NOTE : The approach vectors option assumes
the pilot will receive vectors to the final course
segment of the approach and will provide navi-
gation guidance on the final approach segment
and extension only.
3. Turn the
FMS
knob to select the desired transi-
tion and press the ENT key. ‘LOAD?’ is now
highlighted. Press the ENT key. Activate the
approach once the approach clearance is
received.
NOTE: ‘LOAD?’ will add the procedure to the
flight plan without immediately using it for
navigation guidance. This allows you to continue
navigating the original flight plan, but keeps the
procedure available on the Active Flight Plan
Page for quick activation when needed. ‘Acti-
vate?’ overrides the enroute portion of the active
flight plan, proceeding directly to the approach
portion.
NOTE
: You can also load an approach by pressing
the
APR
softkey.
