2.  Waypoint .......................................................................................... SELECT on Navigation Source 

3.  Course Pointer ..................................................................... VERIFY CDI set to the Desired Course 

4.  Intercept Heading ........................................................................ ESTABLISH in HDG or ROL mode 

5.  NAV Key ................................................................................................................................. PRESS 

NOTE 

If the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) is greater than one dot from center, the autopilot will arm 
the GPS mode.    The  pilot must ensure  that the current heading will  result in a  capture of the 
selected course. If the CDI is one dot or less from center, the autopilot will enter the capture mode
