Keep Vertical Deviation Pointer Centered 18) The aircraft is approaching OPSHN. The upcoming turn and next heading will be annunciated at the top left of the PFD as seen in Figure 7-42. Initiate the turn and maneuver the aircraft on a track through the turn radius to intercept the magenta line for the OPSHN to FSHER leg and center the CDI.
SECTION 7 – NAVIGATION 19) After passing OPSHN, the next leg of the arrival will turn magenta as shown in Figure 7-43. The magenta arrow in the flight plan list now indicates the OPSHN to FSHER leg of the arrival procedure is now active. Figure 7-43 Tracking the OPSHN to FSHER Leg 20) The flight continues through the arrival procedure to PYNON (see Figure 7-44).
SECTION 7 – NAVIGATION 21) Upon passing PYNON the approach procedure will automatically become active. The approach may be activated at any point to proceed directly to the IAF. In this example, the aircraft has progressed through the final waypoint of the arrival and the flight plan has automatically sequenced to the IAF as the active leg, activating the approach procedure (see Figure 7-45). 22) The IAF is the next waypoint. At the TOD, establish a descent vertical speed as previously discussed in Step 16.
SECTION 7 – NAVIGATION 23) After crossing FALUR the next waypoint is the FAF. The flight phase changes to LPV on the HSI indicating the current phase of flight is in Approach Mode and the approach type is LPV. CDI scaling changes accordingly and is used much like a localizer when flying an ILS approach. The RVSI is no longer displayed and the VDI changes to the Glidepath Indicator (as shown in Figure 7-48) when the final approach course becomes active.
SECTION 7 – NAVIGATION In this missed approach procedure, the fix immediately following the MAP (in this case ‘6368FT’) is not part of the published procedure. It is simply a fix that defines a leg which guides the aircraft along the runway centerline until the required altitude to make the first turn on the missed approach is exceeded.
