Procedure 5; Vectors To The Dme Arc - Garmin G1000 Manual

This example is en route from KSAF to KFMN on a heading of 294°, 25 miles out and ATC gives vectors to intercept the arc
outbound from HIDOX. See figure 3
1. If the approach has not already been activated, be sure to do so when cleared for the approach.
2. ATC instructs to turn left to a heading of 270° to intercept the arc.
3. Prior to intercepting the arc the leg must be activated since the arc was not intercepted at the IAF.
With the Active Flight Plan page displayed, press the FMS knob to activate the cursor.
4.
Turn the large FMS knob to highlight DME ARC and press the MENU key to display a list of options.
5.
'Activate Leg' is now highlighted, press the ENT key. A confirmation window is displayed with 'ACTIVATE' highlighted,
6.
press the ENT key. This activates the arc leg as well as the approach.
: The leg can also be activated by pressing the ACT LEG softkey.
NOTE
7. Follow the arc, keeping the CDI needle centered.
8. The next point in the approach is an intermediate fix WILDE. As the plane approaches WILDE the waypoint message
'NEXT DTK 072°' is displayed. As the waypoint approaches, the message is replaced by a turn advisory 'TURN TO
072°'. Initiate a standard rate turn to this course heading.
9. At 2.0 nm from the FAF (PINTO), the G1000 switches from terminal mode to 0.3 nm. CDI scaling is tightened from
1.0 to 0.3 nm, full range deflection.
10. As the plane approaches the FAF, the waypoint message 'NEXT DTK 072°' is displayed. Make any adjustments neces-
sary for the final course segment (FAF to MAP).
11. As the plane crosses the FAF, the destination sequences to the MAP (RW07map, the runway threshold). Keeping the
CDI needle centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums dictated by the approach plate.
12. As the plane approaches the MAP, the waypoint message 'ARRIVING AT WAYPOINT' is displayed.
13. As the plane crosses the MAP, 'SUSP' is displayed in the HSI and directly above the SUSP softkey, indicating that
automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended. A FROM indication is displayed on the CDI, but course
guidance along the final approach course continues. Do NOT follow this extended course. If a missed approach is
required, follow the missed approach procedures as published on the approach plate. Press the SUSP softkey to return
to automatic sequencing of waypoints.
