HOLDING PATTERNS AND PROCEDURE TURNS
When operating IFR on an active GPS flight plan, enroute or
transitioning to the terminal environment, a holding pattern or course
reversal maneuver may be necessary. The G1000 GPS does not
provide course guidance through these maneuvers. The pilot must set
both the G1000 and the KAP 140 to the correct operating mode and
provide course guidance.
The holding pattern is usually shown on the MFD Navigation Map (for a
published holding fix), but it is not included as a leg of the flight plan.
GPS flight plan execution must be paused by entering OBS mode and
using autopilot HDG or NAV modes, as applicable, to perform the
maneuver.
The procedure turn is included as a leg in the flight plan along with the
instrument approach procedure selection. Course guidance is supplied
through the turn to outbound course lock on, but is discontinued after
approximately 1 minute. G1000 OBS mode is not required but the KAP
140 must be set to HDG mode and the HDG bug used to provide
guidance through the course reversal. When established inbound,
change from HDG to APR mode for lock on to the final approach
course.
