COUPLED ILS APPROACH WITH PROCEDURE TURN
NOTE: Configuration of a GNS 430 or GNS 530 is required for a coupled ILS
approach.
The external navigator (GNS 430/530), G3X, and autopilot can be used to fly a
full ILS approach with procedure turn, from the enroute environment to the missed
approach point.
Setting up a coupled ILS approach:
1) EXTERNAL NAVIGATOR: Ensure the 'GPS' indication is showing in the
lower-left corner
2) G3X: Ensure that GPS1 is the selected navigation source on the PFD or
PFD Page (use the CDI SRC Softkey to cycle through external navigation
sources if necessary).
3) EXTERNAL NAVIGATOR: Select and activate the ILS approach using the
PROC Key.
4) G3X: From the PFD or PFD Page, press the HDG/ROLL Softkey to access
the autopilot lateral modes and then press the AP NAV Softkey to activate
GPS Mode. The autopilot should start navigating to the IAF (Initial
Approach Fix).

NOTE: Check step #5 if the external navigator doesn't automatically switch
from GPS to VLOC Mode shortly after turning inbound on the final approach
course.
