GPS Approach Examples

No Procedure Turn

An approach where there is typically no procedure turn
required to get established on the inbound course to the
FAF is our example. We use GPS RWY 12 to show how
the G1000 sequences through an approach and what type
of annunciation and scale factor changes can be expected.
This example is based upon an active flight plan from
KFLG (Flagstaff, AZ Pulliam Airport) to KPRC (Prescott,
AZ Love Airport).
1. Select KPRC as the destination, via the Direct-to
key or as the last waypoint in a flight plan.
Press the PROC key and select the GPS RWY 12
2.
approach. From the transitions window, select
IRODY as the IAF (select 'LOAD?' to load, but
not activate, the approach).
3. Once you are cleared for the approach,
press the PROC key and select 'ACTIVATE
APPROACH?'.
4. Within 30 nm of the destination, the G1000
switches from enroute mode to terminal mode.
The switch to terminal mode is accompanied
by a gradual CDI scale transition from 5.0 to
1.0 nm full scale deflection.
5. Several miles prior to reaching the IAF (IRODY),
you may wish to review the approach sequence.
Press the FPL key to display the Active Flight
Plan Page. Press the small FMS knob and turn
the large FMS knob to review each segment of
the approach. When finished press the FPL key
again to return to the previous page. If you
haven't already activated the approach be sure
to do so when cleared for the approach.

6. As you approach the IAF (IRODY), a waypoint
message (NEXT DTK 204°) appears in the navi-
gation status bar on the PFD. As the distance
to the IAF approaches zero, the message is
replaced by a turn advisory (TURN TO 204°).
7. As you approach the IAF (OKAPY), a waypoint
message (NEXT DTK 124°) appears. As the dis-
tance approaches zero the message is replaced
by a turn advisory (TURN TO 124°).
8. At 2.0 nm from the FAF (MULHU), the G1000
switches from terminal mode to approach
mode. CDI scaling is tightened from 1.0 to
0.3 nm full scale deflection.
9. As you cross the FAF "NEXT DTK 124°"
appears and the destination sequences to the
MAP (RW12map, the runway threshold). Keep-
ing the needle centered, fly toward the MAP,
observing the altitude minimums dictated by
the approach plate.
10. As you approach the MAP, a waypoint message
(ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT) appears.
11. As you reach the MAP, "SUSP" appears in the
HSI and directly above the SUSP softkey, indi-
cating that automatic sequencing of approach
waypoints is suspended at the MAP. A "FROM"
indication is displayed on the CDI, but course
guidance along the final approach course
continues. If a missed approach is required,
use the SUSP softkey to initiate the missed
approach sequence.
NOTE: If the message "RAIM is not available"
appears in the Navigation Status Bar on the PFD,
a missed approach must be executed.
