f) Press the ENT Key. The cursor is now displayed
in the VNV offset field as shown in Figure 7-
28.
Figure 7-28 Enter VNV Offset Distance
g) Enter the offset, or distance from the waypoint
at which the selected altitude will be reached.
In this case, three miles prior to OPSHN is
entered. In other words, the G1000 will give
vertical guidance so the aircraft will arrive at
an altitude of 10,000 feet three miles prior to
OPSHN.
h) Press the
ENT Key twice to activate the direct-
to. Note, in Figure 7-29, the magenta arrow
in the Active Flight Plan Window indicating
the direct-to OPSHN after the offset waypoint
for OPSHN. The preceding offset waypoint
indicates the offset distance and altitude
that was previously entered. The remaining
waypoints in the loaded arrival procedure
have no database specified altitudes, therefore,
dashes are displayed. Keep the CDI centered
and maintain a track along the magenta line
to OPSHN.
NOTE: If the loaded arrival procedure has
waypoints with altitude constraints retrieved
from the database, those altitudes will be
displayed as white numerals. This indicates
the altitudes will not be used by the system for
vertical guidance until manually accepted by the
pilot. To accept the displayed altitude, place the
cursor over the altitude and press the ENT Key.
The altitude entry will then change to light blue
numerals, indicating the altitude will now be used
by the system for providing vertical guidance.

12) While proceeding to OPSHN, the LPV approach
to runway 35R is preferred and will be used.
a) Press the
PROC Key to display the Procedures
Window.
If the GPS system is not WAAS capable, or WAAS
is not available, the LPV approach will not be
displayed in the list of available approaches.
Selecting the LNAV approach for runway 35R
will give vertical guidance up to the IAF.
