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
either the small or large 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 either
the small or large 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.
