Approach

Flying an ILS approach:
1) Transition from GPS Navigation Mode to Heading
Select Mode.
a) Select the Runway 35L ILS approach for KCOS
and select 'VECTORS' for the transition. Load
and activate the approach in the flight plan.
b) Use the HDG Knob to set the Selected Heading
after getting vectors from ATC.
c) Press the HDG Key. The autopilot turns the
aircraft to the desired heading.
d) Use Heading Select Mode to comply with ATC
vectors as requested.
2) Arm LOC Approach and Glideslope modes.
a) Ensure the appropriate localizer frequency is
tuned.
b) Press the APR Key when cleared for approach to
arm Approach and Glideslope modes. 'LOC' and
'GS' appear in white as armed mode annuncia-
tions.
c) The navigation source automatically switches to LOC.
After this switch occurs, the localizer signal can be
captured and the flight director determines when to
begin the turn to intercept the final approach course.
The flight director now provides guidance to the Missed
Approach Point.
3) There are two options available at this point, as the
autopilot flies the ILS approach:
• Push the AP DISC Switch at the decision
height and land the aircraft.
• Use the GA Switch to execute a missed
approach.
