Selecting Approaches
In order to select an approach, you must first have an active
direct-to or flight plan that terminates at an airport with a pub-
lished approach.
1. Press the
PROC
key to display the Procedures
Page.
2. Turn the
large right
knob to highlight “Select
Approach?” and press
ENT
.
3. A window will appear
listing the available pro-
cedures. Turn the
large
right
knob to highlight
the desired procedure and
press
ENT
.
4. A second window will
appear listing the avail-
able transitions. Turn
the
large right
knob
to highlight the desired
transition waypoint and
press
ENT
. (The approach
“Vectors” option assumes you will receive vectors
to the final course segment of the approach and
will provide navigation guidance relative to the final
approach course).
5. Turn the
large right
knob to highlight “Load?” or
“Activate?” and press
ENT
. (“Load?” will add the
procedure to the flight plan without immediately
using it for navigation guidance. This allows you
to continue navigating the original flight plan, but
keeps the procedure available on the Active Flight
Plan Page for quick activation when needed. “Acti-
vate?” overrides the “en route” portion of the active
flight plan, proceeding directly to the “approach”
portion).
6. For non-GPS approved
approaches, a reminder
window will appear indi-
cating that GPS guidance
on such approaches is
strictly for monitoring
only—use the VLOC
receiver and external CDI (or HSI) for primary navi-
gation. To confirm this reminder, highlight “Yes?”
and press
ENT
.
Not all approaches in the database are approved for GPS use.
As you select an approach, a
“
G
P
S
”
designation to the right of
the procedure name indicates the procedure can be flown using
the GPS receiver.
Some procedures will not have this designation,
meaning the GPS receiver may be used for supplemental navigation
guidance only. If the GPS receiver cannot be used for primary guid-
ance, you must use the appropriate receiver for the selected approach
(e.g., VOR or ADF).
The final course segment of ILS approaches,
for example, must be flown by tuning the VLOC receiver to
the proper frequency and coupling the VLOC receiver to the
external CDI (or HSI).
A selected approach may be
activated
or
loaded
. Loading
the approach adds the procedure to the flight plan without
immediately using it for navigation guidance. You can continue
navigating the original flight plan, but the procedure is available
for quick activation when needed. Activating the approach over-
rides the “en route” portion of the active flight plan, proceeding
directly to the “approach” portion. Activating the approach
also initiates automatic CDI scaling transition as the approach
progresses.
In many cases, it may be easiest to “Load” the full approach
while still some distance away, en route to the destination air-
port. Later, if vectored to final, use the steps to select “Activating
an Approach with Vectors-To-Final”—which makes the inbound
course to the FAF waypoint active. Otherwise, activate the full
