PROCEDURES
Flying a Course from Fix to Distance, or Course
from Fix to DME Distance
Certain approach, departure and arrival procedures in
the Jeppesen database contain course from fix flight plan
legs. The G1000 is able to load these legs into the flight
plan along with the rest of the procedure data, and to pro-
vide navigation along these legs. There are four different
types of course from fix legs:
• Course from fix to distance
• Course from fix to DME distance
• Course from fix to an altitude
• Course from fix to manual termination
Course from fix to distance or DME distance legs
appear in the flight plan like normal waypoints, but the
destination name always begins with a “D”, followed by a
distance in tenths of nautical miles from the waypoint fix.
This example is based on an active flight plan from KBFI
(Boeing Field Seattle, WA) to KUAO (Aurora State, OR)
using the LOC RWY 17 approach with BTG as the IAF.
1. Select KUAO as the destination.
2. Press the
PROC key and select the LOC RWY 17
approach. From the transitions window, select
BTG as the IAF.
3. Upon reaching the IAF (BTG), a waypoint mes
-
sage ‘NEXT DTK 176°’ appears in the naviga-
tion status bar on the PFD. As the distance
approaches zero, the message is replaced by
a turn advisory ‘TURN TO 176°’. The pilot is
now on the course from fix to distance leg as
shown on the active flight plan. The distance
displayed in the flight plan is ‘D21.5’. The flight
plan automatically sequences to the next leg
upon reaching ‘D21.5’.
4. Within 30 nm of KUAO, the G1000 switches
from enroute mode to terminal mode and the
CDI scale transitions from 5.0 to 1.0 nm, full
scale deflection.
5. Upon reaching MOKIY intersection, a waypoint
message ‘NEXT DTK 169°’ appears. As the dis
-
tance to MOKIY approaches zero, the message
is replaced by a turn advisory ‘TURN TO 169°’.
Fly this inbound course, keeping the CDI needle
centered. CDI coupling automatically switches
from the GPS receiver to the VLOC receiver.
6. Within 2.0 nm of the FAF (LUTZZ), the G1000
switches from terminal mode to 0.3. CDI scal
-
ing begins rounding down from 1.0 to 0.3 nm,
full scale deflection.
7. As the pilot approaches the FAF (LUTZZ), NEXT
DTK 169° appears. Continue to keep the CDI
needle centered.
8. Upon crossing the FAF, the destination
sequences to 29LOC (‘D2.9’).
9. As the pilot approaches 29LOC (‘D2.9’), NEXT
DTK 169° appears. Make any adjustments nec
-
essary for the final course segment.
10. Upon crossing the 29LOC (‘D2.9’), the desti
-
nation sequences to the MAP (RW17map, the
runway threshold).
11. As the pilot approaches the MAP, a waypoint
message (ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT) appears.
