Selecting An Approach - Garmin G3X Touch Pilot's Manual

An approach can be loaded at any airport that has one available, and provides
situational awareness for non-precision and precision approaches to airports with
published instrument approach procedures. Only one approach can be loaded at a
time in a flight plan. If an approach is loaded when another approach is already in the
active flight plan, the new approach replaces the previous approach.
Whenever an approach is selected, the choice to either "Load Approach" or "Activate
Approach" is given. "Load Approach" adds the approach to the end of the flight plan
without immediately using it for navigation guidance. This allows continued navigation
via the intermediate waypoints in the original flight plan, but keeps the procedure
available on the Active Flight Plan Page for quick activation when needed. "Activate
Approach" also adds the procedure to the end of the flight plan but immediately
begins to navigate to the first waypoint in the approach.

SELECTING AN APPROACH

When selecting an approach, it replaces the destination airport with the sequence of
waypoints for the selected approach. Keep in mind the airport must have a published
approach (GPS, RNAV, VOR, NDB, localizer, or ILS) and only the final course segment
(final approach fix to missed approach point) of the published approach is available
(unless an external navigator is configured).
An approach can be selected from the Saved Flight Plan Page, Active Flight Plan
Page, and Direct-to Window, Waypoint (WPT) Page.
NOTE: The approach airport can be modified from the Select Approach
Window (Active Flight Plan Page > MENU > Approach). When this is done,
the approach is added but the destination airport is not. When removing
an approach (any active or loaded approach to an airport other than the
destination airport), the destination airport will be inserted at the end of the
flight plan.
Loading an approach from the saved flight plan page:
1) Press the MENU Key Twice.
2) Touch Flight Plan List.
3) Touch the desired saved flight plan.
4) Touch Edit.
