Flying a Flight Plan/GPS Course
As the aircraft closes upon Panoche VORTAC, the pilot
chooses to enter and fly a GPS flight plan for the next leg,
airway V230. To do this, the pilot enters PXN, CZQ, and
KFAT into the active flight plan.
To fly a GPS Flight Plan:
1. The aircraft is currently tracking inbound on
the 116 degree radial of Panoche VORTAC.
The pilot enters Panoche VORTAC (PXN) and
Covis VORTAC (CZQ) into the GPS flight plan,
in preparation to intercept this leg.
2. With the flight plan entered, the pilot presses
the CDI softkey until the HSI is in GPS mode.
Doing this cancels VOR mode on the HSI, and
the Flight Director loses the VOR signal. As a
result, the VOR annunciation flashes yellow and
the Flight Director reverts to default roll (ROL)
mode.

Flashes for five seconds, then transitions to ROL
The pilot must then press the NAV key to reac-
tivate the Flight Director roll mode to use GPS
guidance. At this moment, the Flight Director
couples to GPS guidance and the Autopilot
steers the aircraft toward the active flight plan
leg.
3. Once the flight plan leg is intercepted, the
Autopilot continues to track GPS guidance to
the end of the flight plan.
