APPROACH OPERATIONS

Not all approaches in the database are approved for GPS use. When selecting an approach, a “GPS” designation to the right of the procedure name indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS receiver. Some procedures will not have this designation, meaning the GPS receiver can be used for supplemental navigation guidance only. If the GPS receiver cannot be used for primary guidance, the appropriate navigation receiver must be used for the selected approach (e.g., VOR or ILS). The final course segment of ILS approaches, for example, must be flown by tuning the NAV receiver to the proper frequency and selecting that NAV receiver on the CDI.

Load and/or activate an approach procedure:

1)Press the PROC Key.

2)Highlight ‘SELECT APPROACH’.

3)Press the ENT Key. A list of available approaches for the destination airport is displayed.

4)Turn either FMS Knob to highlight the desired approach. The WAAS channel and ID for the selected approach procedure are displayed in the ‘APPROACH CHANNEL’ field (Figure 5-141).

5)Press the ENT Key. A list of available transitions for the selected approach procedure is now displayed.

6)Turn either FMS Knob to selected the desired transition. The “Vectors” option assumes vectors will be received to the final course segment of the approach and will provide navigation guidance relative to the final approach course.

7)Press the ENT Key. ACTIVATE?’ is now displayed. Selecting‘LOAD?’ will enter the selected approach procedure into the active flight plan,but will not be currently active. Selecting‘ACTIVATE?’ will enter the selected approach procedure into the active flight plan and make it immediately active.

8)Turn the large FMS Knob to select either ‘LOAD?’ or ‘ACTIVATE?’.

9)Press the ENT Key.

OR:

1)Select the Nearest Airports Page.

2)Select the desired nearest airport.

3)Press the APR Softkey located at the bottom of the display. The LD APR (load approach) Softkey becomes available.

4)Select the desired approach.

5)Press the LD APR Softkey. The Approach Loading Page is displayed with the transitions field highlighted.

6)Select the desired transition.

7)Press the ENT Key. The ‘LOAD?’ field is highlighted.

8)Press the ENT Key to load the approach. If navigating a flight plan previous to loading this approach,the G1000 will continue navigating the flight plan until the approach is activated.

9)Highlight the ‘ACTIVATE’ field.

10)Press the ENT Key to activate the approach and begin navigating to the IAP.

3)Press the ENT Key. The APPROACH window is displayed on the ‘PROC – APPROACH LOADING’ Page.

4)Select an approach.

5)Press the ENT Key. The TRANSITION window is displayed.

6)Select a transition (the ‘VECTORS’ option assumes vectors will be received to the final course segment of the approach and will provide navigation guidance relative to the final approach course.)

7)Press the ENT Key.

8)Highlight ‘LOAD?’ or ‘ACTIVATE?’. ‘LOAD’ adds the approach to the flight plan without immediately using the approach for navigation guidance. This allows for the original flight plan to continue navigating until cleared for the approach, but keeps the approach available for quick activation when needed. ‘ACTIVATE’ adds the approach to the flight plan and begins navigating the approach course.

This allows for the original flight plan to continue navigating until cleared for the approach, but keeps the approach available for quick activation when needed. ‘Activate’ adds the approach to the flight plan and begins navigating the approach course.

Removing an approach from a direct-to or active flight plan:

1)From the Flight Plan Window, press the MENU Key.

2)Highlight ‘Remove Departure’,‘Remove Arrival’, or ‘Remove Approach’

3)Press the ENT Key. A confirmation window appears listing the procedure that is about to be removed with ‘OK’ highlighted.

4)Press the ENT Key.

Another Procedures Window option allows the pilot to select vectors to the final approach course.

Activating a (previously loaded) approach, with vectors to final:

1)Press the PROC Key to display the Procedures Window.

2)Highlight ‘ACTIVATE VECTOR-TO-FINAL’ and press the ENT Key.

In many cases, it may be easiest to “Load” the full approach while still some distance away, enroute to the destination airport. Later, if vectored to final, use the steps above to select ‘Activate Vector-To-Final’

— which makes the inbound course to the FAF waypoint active. Otherwise, activate the full approach using the ‘ACTIVATE APPROACH’ option.

Activating a missed approach in the active flight plan:

1)Press the PROC Key.

2)Highlight ‘ACTIVATE MISSED APPROACH’.

3)Press the ENT Key. A confirmation window will be displayed.

4)With ‘ACTIVATE’ highlighted, press the ENT Key.

COURSE TO FIX

In certain missed approach procedures, a fix will appear immediately following the MAP (Figure 5-143, ‘990 ft’). This is not necessarily part of the published procedure, it simply represents a course to an altitude fix.

In certain cases, if the aircraft altitude is below the specified altitude (990 feet) after crossing the MAP, a direct-to will be established to this fix until an altitude of 990 feet reached. After reaching 990 feet, a directto will be established to the published fix (in this case POLKE).

If the aircraft altitude is above the specified altitude after crossing the MAP, a direct-to will be established to the published fix (POLKE) to begin the missed approach procedure. The altitude constraint defaults to 400 feet AGL when the fix is not part of the published procedure.

In some missed approach procedures this altitude fix may be part of the published procedure. For example, the procedure dictates a climb to 5,500 feet, then turn left and proceed to the Missed Approach Hold Point (MAHP). In this case, the altitude fix would be labeled ‘5500 ft’. Again, if the aircraft altitude is lower than this prescribed altitude, a direct-to will be established to this fix when the missed approach procedure is activated.
