Garmin G1000 Pilot’s Guide for the Diamond DA42
Activating an approach (which was previously loaded):
1) Press the PROC Key to display the Procedures Window.
2) Highlight ‘ACTIVATE APPROACH’ and press the ENT Key.
Another Procedures Window option allows the pilot to select vectors to the final approach course.
Activating the (previously loaded) approach, with vectors to final:
1) Press the PROC Key to display the Procedures Window.
2) Highlight ‘ACTIVATE VECTOR-TO-FINAL’ and press the ENT Key.
In many cases, it may be easiest to “Load” the full approach while still some distance away, enroute to
the destination airport. Later, if vectored to final, use the steps above to select ‘Activate Vector-To-Final’
— which makes the inbound course to the FAF waypoint active. Otherwise, activate the full approach using
the ‘ACTIVATE APPROACH’ option.
