The Approach Information Page (Figure 5-41) shows the available approach procedures for a selected airport.
Where multiple initial approach fixes (IAFs) and feeder routes are available, that information may also be
displayed. A map image provides a layout diagram for each approach and transition. Not all approaches in
the database are approved for GPS use. When an approach is selected, a GPS designation to the right of the
procedure name indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS receiver. Some procedures do not have
this designation, meaning the GPS receiver may be used for supplemental navigation guidance only. VOR
approaches, for example, must be flown by tuning the NAV receiver to the proper frequency and coupling the
NAV receiver to the HSI located on the PFD.
NOTE: Approaches must be activated before they can be navigated in the active flight plan.
