FLIGHT PLANS
6. Turn the
small FMS
knob to select ‘Before’ or
‘After’, and press the
ENT
key. This setting des-
ignates whether the offset distance defines a
point before you reach the target reference
waypoint or after you reach the waypoint.
7. When using a flight plan, the target refer
-
ence waypoint itself can be specified from
the waypoints contained in the flight plan. By
default, the last waypoint in the flight plan
is selected. To select a different waypoint,
turn the
small FMS
knob to select the desired
waypoint and press the
ENT
key.
8. The default profile utilizes a 400 foot-per-
minute descent rate. To change the rate, turn
the
large FMS
knob to highlight the ‘Target
Vertical Speed’ field and use the small and
large FMS
knobs to enter a new rate. Press
the
ENT
key when finished.
With the profile set, the vertical speed required (VSR)
is displayed. Expect the following to occur when using the
vertical navigation feature:
At one minute prior to reaching the initial descent
point, the message ‘APPR VPROF-Appoaching VNAV
Profile’ is displayed as a PFD alert. The descent (or climb)
angle also locks to prevent changes in speed from altering
the profile. If selected, the vertical speed required (VSR)
readout on the default NAV and map pages shows the
desired vertical speed to maintain the proper descent (or
climb) angle. At 500 feet above (or below, for a climb) the
target altitude, an “Approaching Target Altitude” message
is provided. The VSR readout on the Navigation Map
Page is blanked out at this point.

page defaults.
