intercept the final course, before reaching the FAF.

Approaches
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 GPS 500 is designed to complement your printed approach
plates and vastly improve situational awareness throughout the
approach. However, you must always fly an approach as it
appears on the approach plate.
• You will typically select the destination airport as the last
waypoint in the active flight plan or use the direct-to key.
Doing so ensures that the desired waypoint will automatically
appear when choosing the "Select Approach?" option for the
Procedures page. (Otherwise, you must first choose the airport,
then the approach procedure.)
• As you progress to each waypoint, a waypoint alert message
(e.g.,"NEXT DTK ###°") will appear in the lower right corner of
the display. (See page 10.)
• When you should begin a course change (via a standard rate
turn), turn advisories ("TURN TO ###°") will appear in the
lower right corner of the display. (See page 10.)
