Selecting An Approach - Garmin G3X Pilot's Manual

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 that 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 Direct-to Window, Waypoint (WPT) Page,
Active Flight Plan Page, and the Saved Flight Plan Page.
Loading an approach from the active or saved flight plan page:
1) Press the FPL Key.
2) Turn the FMS Joystick to display the Active Flight Plan Page or Saved Flight
Plan Page.
