Figure 5-15 Activating An Approach Procedure - Garmin G1000 Reference Manual

Not all approaches in the database are approved for
GPS use. As you select an approach, a "GPS" designation
to the right of the procedure name indicates the procedure
can be flown using the GPS receiver. Some procedures
will not have this designation, meaning the GPS receiver
can be used for supplemental navigation guidance only.
If the GPS receiver cannot be used for primary guidance,
you must use the appropriate receiver for the selected ap-
proach (e.g., VOR or ILS). The final course segment of
ILS approaches, for example, must be flown by tuning the
Nav receiver to the proper frequency and selecting that
Nav receiver on the CDI.
CAUTION: The G1000 is designed to comple-
ment your printed approach plates and improve
situational awareness throughout the approach.
The approach must be flown as it appears on the
approach chart.

An approach can be activated or loaded (after selec-
tion). Activating the approach also initiates automatic CDI
scaling transition as the approach progresses. In many cas-
es, it can be easiest to "Load" the full approach while still
some distance away, enroute to the destination airport.
Later, if vectored to final, use the following steps to select
"Activate Vector-To-Final" – which makes the inbound
course to the FAF waypoint active. Otherwise, activate the
full approach using the 'ACTIVATE APPROACH' option.
To activate an Approach Procedure:
1. With an approach loaded in the active flight
plan, press the PROC key to display the Proce-
dures Page.
2. Turn the large FMS knob to highlight
'ACTIVATE?'.
Press the ENT key.
