approach using the "Activate Approach?" option.

Activating an Approach

1. With an approach loaded in the active flight plan,

press the PROC key to display the Procedures Page.

2. Turn the large right knob to highlight "Activate

Approach?".

3. Press ENT.

Activating an Approach with Vectors-to-Final

The "Activate Vectors-To-Final?" option allows you to

activate the final course segment of

the approach. This option assumes

you will receive vectors to the final

approach course and guides you

to intercept the final course, before

reaching the FAF.

With an approach loaded

in the active flight plan,

press the PROC key to display the Procedures

Page.

Turn the large right knob to highlight "Activate

Vectors-To-Final?".

Press ENT.

Flying an Approach

Due to the variety of available approach procedures, the

specific steps required will vary according to the approach

selected. Keep the following guidelines in mind while flying the

approach:

• The GNS 500W-series units

are designed to complement

your printed approach plates

and improve situational

awareness throughout the

approach. However, you must

always fly an approach as it

APPROACHES

appears on the approach plate.

• You will typically select the destination airport as the last

waypoint in the active flight plan or by using the direct-to

key. Doing so ensures that the desired waypoint will auto-

matically appear when choosing the "Select Approach?"

option for the Procedures Page. (Otherwise, you must first

choose the airport, then the approach procedure).

• In the GNS 530W, when a localizer-based approach (such

as an ILS) is loaded, the desired frequency is automatically

placed in standby on the VLOC window. To activate the

frequency, press the VLOC flip-flop key.

• In the GNS 530W, if the VLOC receiver will be used for

the approach, be sure to switch the external CDI (or HSI)

to "VLOC" by pressing the CDI key. (VLOC will appear

directly above the CDI key).

• In the GNS 530W, an "ILS CDI Selection" setting of "Auto"

provides automatic switching to "VLOC" as you intercept

the final approach course. When the ILS approach is

activated (and the correct frequency is active in the VLOC

window), the GNS 530W will automatically switch within

1.2 nautical miles left or right of the approach course. This

switch can take place anywhere from 2.0 to 15.0 nautical

miles from the FAF. The switch occurs gradually to prevent

abrupt CDI changes. This does not occur automatically

when configured for the King KAP140/KFC225 autopilots

as Auto ILS CDI Selection is not allowed.

• As you progress to each waypoint, a waypoint alert mes-

sage (e.g., "Next DTK ###° in x sec") will appear in the

lower right corner of the display.

• When you should begin a course change (via a standard

rate turn), turn advisories ("Left to ###° in x sec") will

appear in the lower right corner of the display.

• For GPS-based approaches, receiver autonomous integrity

monitoring (RAIM) will monitor satellite conditions and

alert you—using an "INTEG" annunciation at the bottom

left corner of the display —if protection limits cannot

be maintained. If this occurs, the GPS receiver should

not be used for primary navigation guidance. Revert to
