APPROACH

Flying an ILS approach:
1) Transition from GPS Navigation Mode to Heading Select Mode.
a) Load the Runway 29R ILS approach for KFAT into the flight plan.
b) Select 'VECTORS' for the transition.
c) Use the HDG Knob to set the Selected Heading after getting vectors from ATC.
d) Press the HDG Key. The autopilot turns the aircraft to the desired heading.
2) Use Heading Select Mode to comply with ATC vectors as requested.
3) Tune the localizer frequency.
4) Press the APR Key when cleared for approach to arm Approach and Glideslope modes. 'LOC' and 'GS' appear
in white as armed mode annunciations.
The navigation source automatically switches to LOC. After this switch occurs, the localizer signal can be
captured and the autopilot and flight director determine when to begin the turn to intercept the final approach
course.
5) There are two options available at this point, as the autopilot flies the ILS approach:
• Push the AP DISC Switch at the decision
height and land the aircraft.
