6.
Airspeed .........................................................................MAINTAIN 90 KIAS or greater (recommended)
NOTE
If the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) is greater than half scale deflection, the autopilot
will arm the LOC mode. The pilot must ensure that the current heading will result in a
capture of the selected course. If the CDI is within half scale deflection, the autopilot will
enter the capture mode when the APR key is pressed.
When the selected navigation source is an ILS, glideslope coupling is automatically
armed when the APR key is pressed. The glideslope cannot be captured until the
localizer is captured. The autopilot can capture the glideslope from above or below the
glideslope.
In aircraft with a DG installed and no HSI, LOC mode cannot be armed. HDG mode must
be used to align the aircraft on the approach course with less than half scale deflection
prior to pressing the APR key.
