OPERATION – AUTO-TUNING
To auto-tune a NAV frequency if the desired
approach is already loaded:
1. Press the
PROC key to open the Procedures
window.
2. Turn the
large FMS knob to highlight the
‘ACTIVATE APPROACH’ menu option and press
the ENT key. The approach primary NAV fre-
quency is automatically loaded into the standby
field of the selected NAV radio.
NOTE: If the system is in GPS mode when a
VOR/ILS approach is loaded or activated, the
approach primary NAV frequency is automatically
loaded into the active field of NAV1.
NOTE: Before loading or activating an approach,
the primary NAV frequency may be loaded into
the NAV tuning box by highlighting the frequency
in the Select Approach window turning the FMS
knob, and pressing the ENT key.
NOTE: The NAV frequency is also automatically
loaded upon vector-to-final activation, if the NAV
frequency is not already loaded in the selected
NAV radio.
NOTE: An approach can also be activated with
the MENU key when the Flight Plan window is
open.
Figure 3-30 Activating an Approach
NOTE: When a VOR/ILS approach has been
activated in GPS mode, and the ILS CDI Capture
option is set to AUTO, the system switches to NAV
mode as the final approach course is intercepted
(within 15 nm from the FAF). See the Multi Func-
tion Display section for details.
