Course From Fix Flight Plan Legs

PROCEDURES

8)When crossing the FAF, the destination sequences to the MAP (‘RW22’).

9)When approaching the MAP, a waypoint alert (‘APPRCHING WPT’) appears in the lower right corner.

10)After crossing the MAP, ‘SUSP’ appears above the OBS Key (Figure 6-48), indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at the MAP. A ‘from’ indication is displayed on the CDI and Default NAV Page, but course guidance along the ﬁnal approach course continues. Do not follow this extended course. Follow published missed approach procedures using the OBS Key to initiate the missed approach sequence, as outlined in this section.

Certain approach, departure, and arrival procedures in the Jeppesen database contain course from ﬁx ﬂight plan legs. The GNS 530 is able to load these legs into the ﬂight plan along with the rest of the procedure data, and provide navigation along these legs.

There are three different types of course from ﬁx legs:

•Course from ﬁx to distance, or Course from ﬁx to DME distance

•Course from ﬁx to altitude

•Course from ﬁx to manual sequence

Course from ﬁx to distance legs appear in the ﬂight plan like normal waypoints, but the destination name al- ways begins with a ‘D’, followed by a distance in nm from the waypoint ﬁx.

Figure 6-49 KPMD Approach

This example uses the VOR/DME RWY 25 approach into Palmdale, California (KPMD) and includes a teardrop course reversal (refer to Figure 6-49 for the following steps).

1)At the initial approach ﬁx (PMD), a waypoint alert (‘NEXT DTK 070°’) appears along the bottom of the screen. As the distance to the IAF approaches zero, the alert is replaced by a turn advisory (‘TURN TO 070°’, Figure 6-50). Dial the outbound course into the CDI (or HSI) using the OBS knob.
