AUTO-TUNING NAV FREQUENCIES ON APPROACH ACTIVATION
NOTE: The primary NAV frequency becomes auto-tuned upon loading an approach.
NOTE: When a VOR/ILS approach has been activated in GPS Mode, and the ILS CDI Capture option is set to
AUTO, the system switches to NAV Mode as the final approach course is intercepted (within 15 nm from the
FAF). See the GPS Navigation section for details.
NAV frequencies are automatically loaded into the NAV Frequency Box on approach activation, regardless of
the display unit being used.
Auto-tuning a NAV frequency if the desired approach is not already loaded:
1) Press the PROC Key to open the Procedures Page.
2) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the ‘SELECT APPROACH’ Menu option and press the ENT Key.
3) Use both the FMS Knob and the ENT Key as needed to select the desired airport, VOR/ILS approach, and
transition.
4) Turn the large FMS Knob to highlight either the ‘LOAD?’ or ‘ACTIVATE?’ prompt and press the ENT Key. The
primary NAV frequency for the activated approach is loaded into the standby field of the selected NAV radio.
