Selecting Approaches

In order to select an approach, there must be an active
direct-to or flight plan which terminates at an airport with
a published approach.
To select an approach:
1. Press the PROC key to display the Procedures
Page.
Turn the large FMS knob to highlight 'Select
2.
Approach' and press the ENT key.
Turn the large FMS knob to select the
3.
APPROACH field.
4. Turn the large FMS knob to highlight select the
desired approach. Press the ENT key.
5. The cursor will move to the TRANSITIONS
field. Turn the large FMS knob to highlight the
desired transition waypoint and press the ENT
key. (The approach "Vectors" option assumes
you will receive vectors to the final course
segment of the approach and will provide navi-
gation guidance relative to the final approach
course.)

Turn the large FMS knob to highlight 'Load?' or
6.
'Activate?' and press the ENT key. 'Load?' will
add the procedure to the flight plan without
immediately using it for navigation guidance.
This allows you to continue navigating the
original flight plan, but keeps the procedure
available on the Active Flight Plan Page for
quick activation when needed. 'Activate?'
overrides the "enroute" portion of the
active flight plan, proceeding directly to the
"approach" portion.
NOTE: You can also load an approach by pressing
the APR softkey.
