Tuning the VLOC when an approach is active

When selecting a VOR or ILS approach, manual
tuning of the VLOC receiver is not required. Once the
approach procedure is 'Loaded' or 'Activated', the GNS
530 automatically places the proper frequency in the
standby field of the VLOC Window. To use this frequency,
press the VLOC Flip-flop Key to activate the frequency.
Additional information on approach procedures is
provided in Section 6.1.
