PROCEDURES
Flying the Vectors Approach
In some cases ATC tells you to expect vectors onto the
final approach course instead of flying the procedure turn
or hold. The two options below can be used to select
“vectors to final”:
• When the approach is first selected choose “vec
-
tors” from the transitions window.
• Load a full approach including the IAF from
the transition window. When cleared, press the
PROC key and select ‘ACTIVATE VECTORS TO
FINAL’.
With ‘Vectors To Final’ selected, the CDI needle
remains off center until you’re established on the final
approach course. With the approach activated, the
Navigation Map Page displays an extension of the final
approach course in magenta (remember magenta is used
to depict the active leg of the flight plan). This example
is based upon an active flight plan from KPAN (Payson,
AZ) to KSDL (Scottsdale, AZ), with ‘Vectors’ for the ‘VOR
or GPS-A’ approach.
1. Select KSDL as the destination.
2. Press the
PROC key and select the VOR or GPS-A
approach. From the transitions window choose
VECTORS.
3. Within 30 nm of KSDL, the G1000 switches
from enroute mode to terminal mode and the
CDI scale transitions from 5.0 to 1.0 nm, full
scale deflection.
4. When ATC begins to give vectors, activate the
approach (with vectors to final). This allows
the G1000 to guide you to the final approach
course.
5. ATC instructs the pilot to turn left to a heading
of 170°. This places the aircraft parallel to the
final approach course in the opposite direction.
The CDI needle deflection is to the right.
6. ATC instructs the pilot to turn right to a heading
of 185°.
7. ATC instructs the pilot to turn right to a heading
of 230°.
8. ATC instructs the pilot to turn right to a head
-
ing of 325° to intercept the final approach
course. As the pilot converges with the final
approach course the CDI needle moves toward
the center.
9. As the CDI needle centers, make any remaining
course corrections to get established on the
final approach course.
10. At 2.0 nm from the FAF (GELTS), the G1000
switches from terminal mode to approach
mode. The CDI scaling begins rounding down
from 1.0 to 0.3 nm, full scale deflection.
11. As the pilot approaches the FAF, a waypoint
message ‘NEXT DTK 002°’ appears in the navi
-
gation status bar on the PFD. Make any course
adjustments necessary for the final approach
course segment (FAF to MAP).
12. Upon crossing the FAF, the destination
sequences to the MAP (MABAW). Keeping the
needle centered, fly toward the MAP, observing
altitude minimums dictated by the approach
chart.
