Course From Fix Flight Plan Legs - Garmin GNS 530W Pilot's Manual & Reference

Make any course adjustments necessary for the
final course segment (FAF to MAP). After the
FAF, VLOC guidance should be used for this
approach.
8. As you cross the FAF, the destination sequences
to the MAP ("RW22"). With the needle
centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the
altitude minimums dictated by the approach
plate. CDI scaling continues to tighten to 350
feet, full-scale deflection.
9. As you approach the MAP, a waypoint alert
("Arriving at waypoint") appears in the lower
right corner.
10. As you cross the MAP, "SUSP" appears
above the OBS key, indicating that automatic
sequencing of approach waypoints is sus-
pended at the MAP. A "from" indication is
displayed on the CDI and Default NAV Page,
but course guidance along the final approach
course continues. Do NOT follow this extended
course. Follow published missed approach
procedures using the OBS key to initiate the
missed approach sequence.
As you cross the MAP, "SUSP" appears above
the OBS key, indicating that the automatic
waypoint sequencing is suspended.

Course From Fix Flight Plan Legs

Certain approach, departure, and arrival procedures
in the Jeppesen database contain Course From Fix flight
plan legs. The 500W-series unit is able to load these
legs into the flight plan along with the rest of the proce-
dure data, and to provide navigation along these legs.

There are three different types of course from fix legs:
TYPE 1: Course from fix to distance, or Course
from fix to DME distance
Course from fix to distance legs appears in the flight
plan like normal waypoints, but the destination name
always begins with a "D", followed by a distance in
tenths of nautical miles from the waypoint fix. This
example uses the VOR/DME RWY 25 approach into
Palmdale, California (KPMD) and includes a teardrop
course reversal.
1. As you reach the initial approach fix (PMD),
a waypoint alert ("Right to 072° in x sec")
appears in the lower right corner of the screen.
As the distance to the IAF approaches zero, the
alert is replaced by a turn advisory ("Right to
072° now"). Dial the outbound course into the
CDI (or HSI) using the OBS knob and initiate a
standard rate turn to this course heading.
