Vectors to Final

Let's take a second look at the "VOR 22" approach into Billard Municipal. Instead of following the
DME arc, ATC tells you to expect vectors onto the final approach course. There are several ways to select
"vectors to final" with the GPS 500. The first two options below normally require the least workload to
accomplish:
• When the approach is first selected, choose "VECTORS" from the transitions ("TRANS") window.
• Load a full approach—including the IAF from the transitions window—as described on page 55.
When cleared, press PROC and select "Activate Vectors-To-Final?" (see page 56).
• Load the full approach as described on page 55. Use the direct-to key (by pressing it twice)
from the Active Flight Plan page to select the desired leg of the approach (see page 54).
To select "VECTORS" from the transitions window:
1. Select Billard Muni (KTOP) as your destination, using the direct-to key, or as the last waypoint in a flight plan.
2. Press the PROC key and select the "VOR 22" approach using the steps outlined on page 55.
3. From the transitions window, select "VECTORS".
4. Select "Load?" (or "Activate?", if already cleared for the approach).

To activate vectors-to-final from the procedures page:

1. Select Billard Muni (KTOP) as your destination, using the direct-to key or as the last waypoint in a flight plan.
2. Press the PROC key and select the "VOR 22" approach using the steps outlined on page 55.
3. From the transitions window, select "TOP" as the IAF. Also, select "Load?".
4. When cleared, press the PROC key and select "Activate Vectors-To-Final?".
