Final,” activating an IFR approach activates the heading bug on current
aircraft heading for purposes of defining the course intercept angle.

STAR
: This option is invalid if the selected waypoint is a holding pattern
waypoint or SAR pattern exit waypoint. (This forces a pilot to deactivate
a manual holding pattern or SAR pattern prior to activating an IFR
approach). If selected waypoint is an airport with a STAR, the pilot is
presented with a list of available STARs, followed by a list of available
transitions (if there are more than one) and a list of runways (if there
are surveyed runways at the airport). After selection, the appropriate
STAR is created. Activating a STAR automatically deletes any pre-
existing STAR. If there is a pre-existing approach (IFR or VFR) to the
airport, STAR waypoints are inserted prior to the approach waypoints.
10)
DP
: This option is invalid if the selected waypoint is a holding pattern
waypoint or SAR pattern exit waypoint. (This forces a pilot to deactivate
a manual holding pattern or SAR pattern prior to activating an IFR
approach). If selected waypoint is an airport with a DP, the pilot is
presented with a list of DPs, followed by a list of available transitions (if
there are more than one) and a list of runways (if there are surveyed
runways and more than one runway authorized for the DP). After
selection, the appropriate DP is created, and upon activation, deletes
any pre-existing DPs.
7.2. IFR
Procedures
Pilots operating in a radar environment are expected to associate departure
headings or an RNAV departure advisory with vectors or the flight path to
their planned route or flight. There are two types of departure procedures
(DP); obstacle departure procedures (ODP) are printed either textually or
graphically, and standard instrument departure procedures (SID) are
always printed graphically. All DPs, either textual or graphic, may be
designed using either conventional or RNAV criteria. RNAV procedures
have RNAV printed in the title.
ODPs are not found in NavData®, therefore the climb angle found in the
PFD BUGS menu should be set to comply with the steeper than normal
climb gradient during the departure until established on the enroute
structure. ODPs are recommended for obstruction clearance and may be
flown without ATC clearance, unless an alternate departure procedure (SID
or radar vector) has been specifically assigned by ATC.
Approach minima are never coded in NavData®. On some approaches, the
altitude coded at the MAP for a non-precision approach coincides with an
MDA (normally where the final approach course does not align with the
runway), but more often the coded altitude is some height above the
threshold.
