Descent and Approach
Pathways are shown descending only for a programmed
descent (Figures 11-4 and 11-5). When the flight plan
includes programmed descent segments, pathways are
displayed along the descent path provided that the selected
altitude is lower than the programmed altitude.
During a Vectors-to-Final (VTF) approach transition,
pathways are displayed along the final approach course
inbound to the Missed Approach Point (MAP). Pathways
are shown level at the selected altitude or at the next
programmed crossing altitude, whichever is higher, up
to the point along the final approach course where the
altitude intercepts the extended vertical descent path,
glidepath, or glideslope.

From the vertical path descent, glidepath, or glideslope
intercept point, the pathways are shown inbound to the
Missed Approach Point (MAP) along the published lateral
and vertical descent path.
During an ILS approach, the initial approach segment
is displayed in magenta at the segment altitudes if GPS
is selected as the navigation source on the CDI. When
switching to localizer inbound with LOC selected as the
navigation source on the CDI, pathways are displayed in
green along the localizer and glide slope.
VOR, LOC BC, and ADF approach segments that are
approved to be flown using GPS are displayed in magenta
boxes. Segments that are flown using other than GPS or
ILS, such as heading legs or VOR final approach courses
are not displayed.
