6.5 EXAMPLE PROCEDURES
NOTE: The following example flight plan and
diagrams (not to be used for navigation) in this
section are for instructional purposes only and
should be considered not current. Numbered
portions of accompanying diagrams correspond
to numbered procedure steps.
This scenario-based set of procedures (based on the
example flight plan found in the Flight Management
Section) shows various GFC 700 AFCS modes used
during a flight. In this scenario, the aircraft departs
Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport (KMKC), enroute
to Colorado Springs Airport (KCOS). After departure, the
aircraft climbs to 12,000 ft and airway V4 is intercepted,
following ATC vectors.
Airway V4 is flown to Salina VOR (SLN) using
VOR navigation, then airway V244 is flown using GPS
Navigation. The ILS approach for runway 35L and LPV
(WAAS) approach for runway 35R are shown and a missed
approach is executed.

Before takeoff, set the Selected Altitude to 12,000
feet using the ALT Knob.
