cally begin with the same basic steps:

“Select” and “Load” the
approach
“Activate” the approach

NAVIGATION
1. Select the destination airport using the direct-
to
key, or as the last waypoint in the active
flight plan.
2. Choose the “Select Approach?” option from
the procedures page or from the active flight
plan options.
3. “Load” the approach (often while en route) in
anticipation of its future use. This places the
approach in the active flight plan, but retains
course guidance in the en route section until
the approach is “activated”.
4. “Activate” the full approach or vectors-to-final,
as appropriate. In some scenarios, you may find
it more convenient to immediately activate the
approach and skip the “Load” process outlined
above in step #3. The 400W-series provides
both options.
