DME Arc Approach

15.   As you approach the MAP, a waypoint alert 

(“ARRIVING WPT”) will appear in the lower right 
corner. CDI scaling continues to tighten from  
0.3 NM to 350 feet, full-scale deflection.

16.   As  you  cross  the  MAP,  “SUSP”  will  appear 

above the OBS key, indicating that automatic 
sequencing of approach waypoints will be sus-
pended at the MAP. A “from” indication will 
be displayed on the CDI and default NAV page, 
but course guidance along the final approach 
course will continue. If a missed approach is 
required, use the OBS key to initiate the missed 
approach sequence. 

The GPS overlay for a DME arc approach uses

additional Jeppesen-provided waypoints to define the 
arc. These waypoints are indicated by “D” as the first
letter in the waypoint name. This is followed by three 
numbers which indicate the radial the waypoint lies 
on. The last letter indicates the radius of the arc. 

VOR or GPS Rwy 22

NOTE: The letter/number DME arc names are 
being replaced with standard five-letter intersec-
tion names. You may encounter either naming 
convention for an approach you select. 

This example is based upon a flight from Hutchin-

son (Kansas) Municipal (KHUT) to Billard Municipal 
(KTOP) in Topeka, Kansas. The VOR/DME runway 22
approach will be selected, along with “D258G” as the
IAF. 

1.   Select Billard Muni (KTOP) as your destination, 

via the Direct-To key or as the last waypoint 
in a flight plan.
