Vectors to Final
Take a second look at the ‘VOR 22’ approach into
Billard Municipal. Instead of following the DME arc, ATC
tells the pilot to expect vectors onto the final approach
course. There are several ways to select ‘vectors to final’
with the GPS 500. The first two options below normally
require the least workload to accomplish:
• When the approach is first selected, choose
‘VECTORS’ from the Transitions Window.
• Load a full approach (including the IAF from the
Transitions Window) as described in Section 5.1.
When cleared, press the
PROC Key and select
‘Activate Vectors-To-Final?’.
• Load the full approach as described in Section
5.1. Use the Direct-to Key (by pressing it twice)
from the Active Flight Plan Page to select the
desired leg of the approach.
Selecting ‘VECTORS’ from the Transitions
Window:
1) Select Billard Municipal (KTOP) as the
destination, using the
Direct-to
Key, or as the
last waypoint in a flight plan.
2) Press the PROC Key and select the ‘VOR 22’
approach using the steps outlined in Section
5.1.
3) From the Transitions Window, select ‘VECTORS’
(Figure 5-41).

4) Select ‘Load?’ (or ‘Activate?’, if already cleared
for the approach).
Activating vectors-to-final from the
Procedures Page:
1) Select Billard Municipal (KTOP) as the
destination, using the
Direct-to
Key or as the
last waypoint in a flight plan.
2) Press the PROC Key and select the ‘VOR 22’
approach using the steps outlined in Section
5.1.
