What Is The Correct Missed Approach Procedure? How Do I Select The Missed Approach Holding Point?; How Do I Re-Select The Same Approach Or Activate A New Approach After A Missed Approach?; Appendix D: Troubleshooting Q & A - Garmin GPS 500 Pilot's Manual & Reference

What is the correct missed approach procedure? How do I select the missed approach
holding point?
To comply with TSO specifications, the GPS 500 does not automatically sequence past the MAP.
The active-to waypoint sequences to the first waypoint in the missed approach procedure, whenever
the OBS key is pressed AFTER crossing the MAP. All published missed approach procedures must be
followed, as indicated on the approach plate.
To execute the missed approach procedure prior to the MAP (not recommended), select the Active
Flight Plan page and use the direct-to key (by pressing it twice) to activate the missed approach portion
of the procedure, as described on page 54.

How do I re-select the same approach or activate a new approach after a missed approach?

After flying all missed approach procedures, you may reactivate the same approach for another attempt from the Procedures page. Once you have
been given clearance for another attempt, activate the approach from the Procedures page by highlighting "Activate Approach?" and then pressing
ENT. The GPS 500 provides navigation along the desired course to the waypoint and rejoins the approach in sequence from that point on. See page
54 for information on activating a specific flight plan leg.
To activate a new approach for the same airport, select the new procedure from the Procedures page. To view the Procedures page, press PROC
and rotate the large right knob to highlight "Select Approach?". Press ENT and rotate the large right knob to highlight the new approach you
want to fly. Press ENT to select the approach, then select the desired transition. Finally, highlight "Activate?" at the bottom right corner of the screen
and press ENT to activate the new approach.
To activate a new approach to a different airport, press direct-to and select the desired airport using the small and large right knobs. Press
ENT to accept the selected airport, then follow the steps in the preceding paragraph to select an approach for the new airport. See section 4 for more
information on selecting and activating approaches.

Do not attempt to reactivate the same approach you are currently on, prior to crossing the missed approach point (MAP). If you attempt to do
so, an alert message ("Are you sure you want to discontinue the current approach?") appears. If you still proceed with reactivating the ap-
proach, the GPS 500 directs you back to the transition waypoint and does NOT take into consideration any missed approach procedures.
