1.

a. Tune navigation radio to LOC frequency.
b. Set published inbound LOC course heading with course pointer.
c. Push REV mode switch.

2.

a. Set heading bug to published outbound procedure turn heading.
b. Press HDG mode switch.

3.

a. In 90  increments, set heading bug to inbound procedure turn heading.
b. When established on inbound procedure turn heading, press NAV mode switch.  Autopilot will intercept, track, and
capture the          localizer.

4.

Once established in NAV/APR mode, the heading bug can be set to the published missed approach heading.
