IFR Procedures

Once the direct-to or flight plan is confirmed, the 

whole range of instrument procedures is available to 
you. Departures (SIDs), arrivals (STARs), non-preci-
sion and precision approaches are stored within the 
NavData card and available using the PROC key. 

The steps required to select and activate an 

approach, departure or arrival are very similar. In this 
introductory section, we’ll show examples of the steps 
required to select an approach, but keep in mind the 
same process also applies to departures and arrivals. 

1.  Turn  the  large  right  knob  to  highlight 

the “Select Approach?”  option  (or “Select 
Arrival?”/“Select Departure?”) from the Pro-
cedures Page. 

2.  Press ENT to display a list of available proce-

dures for the arrival (when using approaches 
or  STARs)  or  departure  (when  using  SIDs) 
airport. 

3.  Turn the small right knob to select the desired 

procedure and press ENT. 

4.  For approaches, a window appears to select 

the  desired  initial  approach  fix  (IAF)  or  a 
“vectors” option to select just the final course 
segment of the approach. Turn the small right 
knob to select the desired option and press 
ENT. (Vectors guidance is relative to the final 
inbound course. A line is drawn beyond the 
final approach fix, allowing you to intercept 
the  final  course  segment  beyond  its  normal 
limits.) 

5.  For departures and arrivals, pop-up windows 

appear  to  select  the  desired  transition  and 
runway(s). Turn the small right knob to select 
the desired option and press ENT. 

6.  With “Load?” highlighted, press ENT to add 

the procedure to the flight plan or direct-to. 

The selected procedure for the departure or arrival 

airport is added to the sequence of waypoints in the 
flight plan or direct-to (as shown on the Active Route 
Page). You can later “activate” the selected procedure 
from the Procedures Page or the Active Flight Plan 
Page.
