  • Page 13 Approaches Not all approaches in the database are approved for GPS use. As you select an approach, a “ G P S ” designation to the right of the procedure name indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS receiver. Some pro- cedures will not have this designation, meaning the GPS receiver may be used for supplemental navigation guidance only.
  • Page 14 Another procedures page option allows you to activate the final course segment of the approach. This option assumes you will receive vectors to the final approach fix (FAF) and guides you to intercept the final course, before reaching the FAF. APPROACHES Due to the variety of available approach procedures, the specific steps required will vary according to the approach selected.

If this occurs, the GPS receiver cannot be used for primary navigation guidance, a missed approach should be initiated and select either 1) an alternate navigation source for another approach to the same airport, or 2) an alternate airport.
