Procedure 6
FLYING AN APPROACH WITH A HOLD
This example is based upon a missed approach from KSOP (Moore County, NC). Now the pilot has decided to divert to KIGX
(Chapel Hill, NC) instead. The RNAV (GPS) RWY 9 approach into KIGX is selected. The RNAV (GPS) RWY 9 approach begins
with a holding pattern at the IAF, FIKKA. See figure 4.
1. Press the Direct-to key.
2. Turn the
small and large FMS knobs to enter the destination airports identifier (KIGX).
3. Press the
ENT key twice. This time select the RNAV (GPS) RWY 9 approach into KIGX. The approach begins with a
holding pattern at the IAF (FIKKA).
4. Press the
PROC key and select the RNAV (GPS) RWY 9 approach.
5. From the transitions window, select FIKKA as the IAF. When asked ‘Hold at FIKKA? YES or NO’, select Yes and press
the ENT key. Choose ‘ACTIVATE?’; this will load and activate the approach.
6. Once the approach is activated, the Active Flight Plan Page is displayed. Review the approach sequence by pressing
the small FMS knob and turning the large FMS knob to review each segment of the approach.
7. Within 30 nm of the airport, the G1000 switches from en route mode to terminal mode. The CDI range transitions
from 5.0 to 1.0 nm, full range deflection.
8. Prior to crossing FIKKA, the message ‘HOLD DIRECT’ is displayed in the navigation status bar on the PFD to suggest
the proper holding pattern entry.
9. Fly the holding pattern (the holding pattern is displayed in magenta, indicating the active leg).
10. As the plane crosses the IAF, ‘SUSP’ is displayed in the HSI and directly above the
SUSP softkey indicating that automatic
sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended. As the plane makes the turn inbound, ‘SUSP’ is cancelled and the
G1000 returns to automatic sequencing.
NOTE: If it is needed to go around the holding pattern again, press the SUSP softkey to manually suspend
waypoint sequencing BEFORE crossing the holding waypoint the second time. If the waypoint has already
been passed, re-activate the holding pattern using the ACTIVE FLIGHT PLAN page.
11. As the plane approaches FIKKA from within the holding pattern, the waypoint message ‘NEXT DTK 090°’ is dis-
played.
12. At 2.0 nm from the FAF, the G1000 switches from terminal mode to approach mode. CDI scaling is tightened from
1.0 to 0.3 nm, full range deflection.
13. As the plane approaches the FAF, the waypoint message ‘NEXT DTK 090°’ is displayed. Make any course adjustments
necessary for the final course segment (FAF to MAP).
14. As the plane crosses the FAF, the destination sequences to the MAP (RW09map, the runway threshold). Keeping the
needle centered fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums dictated by the approach plate.
NOTE: When viewing the Navigation Map Page, the final course segment is displayed in magenta (the
active leg of the flight plan always is displayed in magenta) and a dashed line extends the course beyond
the MAP. Do NOT follow this extended course. Instead, follow the published missed approach procedures.
15. As the plane approaches the MAP, the waypoint message ‘ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT’ is displayed.
