Load an Approach
'Load Approach' allows for the selection of a published
instrument approach for the destination airport. It also
replaces the current approach with a new selection. In
many cases, it is more convenient to select approaches us-
ing the PROC key, or by pressing the LD APR softkey.
To select an approach for a Direct-to or
flight plan destination airport:
1. From the Active Flight Plan Page, press the
MENU key to display the Active Flight Plan Page
options.
2. Highlight the 'Load Approach' option and press
the ENT key.
3. A window is displayed listing the available
approaches for the destination airport. Turn the
FMS knob to highlight the desired approach
and press the ENT key.
4. A second window is displayed listing avail-
able transitions for the approach. Turn the
FMS knob to highlight the desired transition
waypoint and press the ENT key. (The vectors
option assumes the pilot will receive vectors to
the final course segment of the approach and
will provide navigation guidance to intercept
this final course.)
5. Turn the large FMS knob to highlight 'Load?
or Activate?' and press the ENT key. 'Load'
adds the approach to the flight plan without
immediately using the approach for navigation
guidance.

This allows for the original flight plan to continue
navigating until cleared for the approach, but keeps the
approach available for quick activation when needed.
'Activate' adds the approach to the flight plan and begins
navigating the approach course.
