IFR Procedures
Once the direct-to or flight plan is confirmed, the whole
range of instrument procedures is available to the pilot.
Departures (SIDs), arrivals (STARs), and non-precision
and precision approaches are stored within the NavData
Card and are available using the
PROC
(procedures) Key.
Displaying the Procedures Page:
Press the
PROC
Key (Figure 1-21).
Figure 1-21 Procedures Page
This introductory section shows examples of the steps
required to select and activate a departure, arrival, or an
approach.
Selecting a departure, arrival, or an
approach:
1) Turn the large
right
knob to select the desired
option (‘Select Departure?’, ‘Select Arrival?’
or ‘Select Approach?’) from the Procedures
Page.
2) Press the
ENT
Key to display a list of available
procedures for the departure (when using SIDs)
or arrival (when using approaches or STARs)
airport.
3) Turn the small
right
knob to select the desired
procedure and press the
ENT
Key.
4) For approaches, a window appears (Figure
1-22) to select the desired initial approach
fix (IAF) or provide a ‘vectors’ option to select
just the final course segment of the approach.
Turn the small
right
knob to select the desired
option and press the
ENT
Key. The ‘vectors’
option extends the final inbound course beyond
the final approach fix, allowing the pilot to
intercept the final course segment beyond its
normal limits.

to select the desired transition. Turn the small

knob to select the desired option and

In the flight plan or direct-to, the departure or arrival
airport is replaced with the sequence of waypoints
contained within the selected procedure.
