Page 94 GPS use. As you select an approach, a “GPS” designa- tion to the right of the procedure name indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS receiver. Some procedures do not have this designation, meaning that the GPS receiver may be used for supplemental naviga- tion guidance only.
Page 95 Basic Approach Operations The 500W series provides precision vertical guid- ance and non-precision advisory guidance using its built in GPS receiver. The moving map pages can also be used as a supplemental aid to situational awareness for ILS, VOR, and NDB approaches (and non-preci- sion localizer-based approaches), but the appropriate navigational aid MUST be used for primary approach course guidance.

This may be changed to manual in some installations. If the “ILS CDI Selection” setting is changed to “Manual”, you must determine when to select “GPS” or “VLOC” guidance during the...
Page 129 • When flying an approach with the autopilot-coupled, you must monitor system functions at all times and verify that the autopilot and external CDI (or HSI) switch to the VLOC receiver with sufficient time to capture and track the approach course. Switching to “VLOC” late in the approach may not provide the autopilot enough time to respond and intercept the approach course prior to the FAF (depending upon the performance characteristics of your autopilot and aircraft).

Page 226 APPENDIX C Troubleshooting Q & A How do I skip a waypoint in an approach, departure, or arrival? The 500W-series unit allows you to manually select any approach, departure or arrival leg as the active leg of your flight plan. This procedure is performed from the Active Flight Plan Page by highlighting the desired way- point and pressing the direct-to key twice, then ENT to approve the selection (see illustration left).
Page 227 minal mode to approach mode. CDI scaling is tightened from 1.0 NM full scale deflection to either 0.3 NM or 2° full scale deflection whichever is less at the FAF. The scal- ing change occurs gradually over a 2 NM distance and is completed before crossing the FAF. If Vectors to Final is selected, the unit provides CDI scaling appropriate to the approach, which is typically ±2 degrees angular from the origin of the approach.
Page 228 APPENDIX C Troubleshooting Q & A What is the correct missed approach procedure? How do I select the missed approach holding point? The 500W-series unit does not automatically sequence past the MAP. Waypoint sequencing to the first waypoint in the missed approach procedure will be enabled when the OBS key is pressed after crossing the MAP.
