d. Mode Controller.....................................................................................PRESS APR Button
GPS will be the active lateral mode,
GP will ARM if the procedure provides vertical guidance
IF Flying Full Approach Including Transition
3. Airplane cleared to an initial approach fix
a. ACTIVATE THE APPROACH from the PROC page,
Or
ACTIVATE a DIRECT TO ( D ) the IAF
b. HSI CDI...................................................................................... SELECT GPS Nav Source
c. Mode Controller.....................................................................................PRESS APR Button
GPS will be the active lateral mode,
GP will ARM if the procedure provides vertical guidance
NOTE
Ensure groundspeed is less than 200 KTS within 1 minute of the IAF
4. Established inbound on Final Approach Course (FAF Active Waypoint)
c. VERIFY Course Pointer is set to the final approach course
d. VERIFY LNAV+V or LNAV is annunciated on the HSI
e. VERIFY GP Deviation Scale Displays (if applicable)
f. SET Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) Altitude In Altitude Preselect
5. Airspeed.................................................MAINTAIN 110 KIAS OR GREATER (Recommended)
CAUTION
Some RNAV (GPS) approaches provide a vertical descent angle as an aid in flying a stabilized
approach. These approaches are NOT considered Approaches with Vertical Guidance (APV).
Approaches that are annunciated on the HSI as LNAV or LNAV+V are considered Nonprecision
Approaches (NPA) and are flown to an MDA even though vertical glidepath (GP) information may
be provided.
6. At the FAF........................................................................Descend via GP if LNAV+V approach
Use desired vertical mode to fly the approach’s vertical profile if LNAV approach
Use Altitude Preselect to level off at intermediate altitudes and at the MDA
Recommend descending at 1000 ft/min or less. Descending at a higher rate of descent or
reaching MDA too far before the Visual Descent Point (VDP) could cause TAWS alerts. If a
TAWS WARNING is issued, immediately follow the TAWS WARNING procedure in the
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Section of this AFMS.
CAUTION
Airplane will not capture ALT if descending in GP mode.
