NOTE: The diagrams in this section are for instruc-
tional purposes only and should not be used for
navigation.
This section provides a scenario-based set of procedures
showing various GFC 700 AFCS modes used during a
flight. In this scenario, the aircraft departs Reid-Hillview
Airport (KRHV) from runway 13L, enroute to Fresno
Yosemite International Airport (KFAT). Per the filed flight
plan, the aircraft climbs to an altitude of 7000 feet MSL at
a heading of 070° to intercept airway V107.
Airway V107 is flown to Panoche VORTAC (PXN)
using VOR navigation, then airway V230 is flown using a
GPS flight plan. On this leg, the aircraft descends to 3000
feet prior to reaching Clovis VORTAC (CZQ) and the ILS
approach to R29R at KFAT is loaded. The ILS approach is
flown and a missed approach is executed.
