3)ATC instructs the pilot to turn left to a heading of 025°. This places the aircraft parallel to the final approach course in the opposite direction. CDI needle deflection is to the left.

4)ATC instructs the pilot to turn right to a heading of 115°.

5)ATC instructs the pilot to turn right to a heading of 175° to intercept the final approach course. When converging with the final approach course the needle moves toward the center. (In Figure 6-45, the needle has not yet returned to the on-screen CDI, since the current position is still 1.7 nm right of the final approach course.)

Refer to Figure 6-46 for the following steps.

6)At 2.0 nm from the FAF (TOP VOR), the GNS 530 switches from terminal mode to approach mode (Figure 6-47). CDI scaling is tightened from 1.0 to 0.3 nm, full scale deflection.
