SUPPLEMENTAL FLIGHT DATA
Select Approach
Select Approach allows the pilot to choose a published
instrument approach for the destination airport, or replace
the current approach with a new selection.
NOTE: The pilot may also select an approach, an
arrival and a departure by pressing the MENU
key.
To select an approach for a direct-to or
flight plan destination airport:
1. From an active flight plan, press the
PROC key
to display the Procedures options window.
2. Turn the
large FMS knob to highlight ‘Select
Approach’, then press the ENT key. A window
appears listing the available approaches for
the destination airport.
3. Turn the
FMS knob to select the desired
approach, then press the
ENT key. A window
appears listing the available transitions for the
approach.
NOTE: The ‘Vectors’ option assumes that the pilot
will receive vectors from ATC to the final course
segment of the approach.
4. Turn the FMS knob to select the desired transi-
tion or vectors, then press the
ENT key. With
‘LOAD?’ highlighted, press the ENT key to load
the approach.
5. To activate the approach, turn the
large FMS
knob to highlight ‘ACTIVATE?’, then press the
ENT key.
‘LOAD’ adds the approach to the flight plan without
immediately using the approach for navigation guidance.
This allows the pilot to continue navigating the original
flight plan until cleared for the approach, but keeps the
approach available for quick activation when needed.
‘ACTIVATE’ adds the approach to the flight plan and be-
gins navigating the approach course.
