Troubleshooting Q & A

Why aren’t there any approaches available for my
flight plan?
Approaches are available for the final destination air-
port in a flight plan or as a direct-to (keep in mind that
some VOR/VORTAC identifiers are similar to airport iden-
tifiers). If a destination airport does not have a published
approach, the 500W-series unit indicates “NONE” for the
available procedures — as listed on the Airport Approach
Page. For more information on selecting an approach, see
Section 5 - Procedures .
What happens when I select an approach? Can I store a
flight plan with an approach, departure or arrival?
Whenever you load an approach, departure or arrival
into the active flight plan, a set of approach, departure or
arrival waypoints is inserted into the flight plan — along
with a header line describing the instrument procedure you
selected. The original en route portion of the flight plan
remains active, unless you “Activate” the instrument proce-
dure; which may be done when the procedure is loaded or
at a later time.
Flight plans can also be stored with an approach, de-
parture or arrival. Keep in mind that the active flight plan
is erased when the unit is turned off and overwritten when
another flight plan is activated. When storing flight plans
with an approach, departure or arrival, the 500W-series
unit uses the waypoint information from the current da-
tabase to define the waypoints. If the database is changed
or updated, the 500W-series unit automatically updates
the information if the procedure has not been modified. If
an approach, departure or arrival procedure is no longer
available, the flight plan becomes locked until the proce-
dure is deleted from the flight plan or the correct database
is installed. For information on loading an approach, de-
parture or arrival, see
Section 5 - Procedures . See Section 4
- Flight Plans - Active Flight Plan Options for instructions on
saving and copying flight plans.
Can I file slant Golf (“/G”) using my GPS?
Yes, you may file your flight plan as /G if your 500W-
series unit is an authorized IFR installation. The 500W
series is a TSO C146a Gamma-3 (Class 3) authorized GPS
navigator. If you are flying en route, you may fly /G with
an expired database only after you have verified all route
waypoints. Approaches may not be flown with an expired
database. See your approved Airplane Flight Manual Sup-
plement for more information.
