Airport Approaches

 

NOTE: 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 us-
ing the GPS receiver. Some procedures will not 
have this designation, meaning the GPS receiver 
may be used for supplemental navigation guid-
ance only. 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). 

The following options are available for the airport 

approach page, by pressing the MENU key: 

Load into Active FPL? allows you to load the 

selected approach into the active flight plan—with-
out activating it. This performs the same operation 
as selecting “Load?” from the procedures page “Select 
Approach?” option. 

1.   Select  the  desired  approach  and  transition 

using the steps outlined in Section 5. 

2.   Press MENU to display the airport approach 

page options. 

3.   Turn the large right knob to highlight “Load 

into Active FPL?” and press ENT. 

4.   The active flight plan page will appear. Press 

FPL to return to the airport procedures page. 

 Load and Activate? allows you to load the 
selected approach into the active flight plan and 
activate navigation guidance to the approach 
transition. 
 To load and activate an approach from the airport 
approach page, follow the steps above, but select 
“Load and Activate?” in step #3. 
Select Approach Chnl? allows you to select the 
channel number for a WAAS approach for the 
current destination. The channel number for the 
WAAS approach is available from an approved 
approach chart. 
If duplicate numbers are available for a channel, 
a list will be available where you may select the 
desired approach.
