5 - PROCEDURES
ILS Approach
Once the destination airport is selected (us-
ing direct-to or an active flight plan), press
PROC and choose the "Select Approach"
option.
3. From the transitions window, select "SHUTR"
as the IAF. Also, select "Load?" (or "Activate?",
if already cleared for the approach).
Once the approach is selected (by name), a
pop-up window asks you to select the ap-
propriate transition ("SHUTR" intersection, in
this example).
4. A reminder message appears, indicating that
GPS can only be used for approach monitoring.
As mentioned previously, you need to use the
VLOC receiver for this approach. Press ENT to
acknowledge the message.
When you "Load?" (or "Activate?") an ILS
approach, the ILS frequency is automatically placed in the
standby field of the VLOC window. To use this frequency,

simply press the VLOC flip-flop key to place it in the
active frequency field.

Flying the ILS Approach

When you "Activate?" an ILS approach, automatic
switching of the external CDI is enabled (unless
turned off from the CDI/Alarms Page). When you are
established on the inbound course to the FAF (and
within 45°), the external CDI guidance automatically
switches from "GPS" (shown in green text) to "VLOC"
(shown in white text). If you have forgotten to activate
the ILS frequency (step #4 below), automatic selection of
"VLOC" does not occur.
