2)Fly the ‘course from fix to distance’ leg, as shown on the Active Flight Plan Page and the Default NAV Page. Note the magenta line in Figure 6-51, which represents the currently active leg of the approach. The distance (DIS) displayed on the above screens is TO the ‘D13.0’ point. The flight plan automatically sequences to the next leg upon reaching ‘D13.0’.

3)At 13.0 nm from the FAF, a waypoint alert (‘NEXT DTK 265°’) appears along the bottom of the screen (Figure 6-51). Turn to intercept the final approach course and watch for the CDI needle to begin to center.

4)When approaching the intermediate fix (CF25), a waypoint alert (‘NEXT DTK 265°’) appears.

5)Within 2.0 nm of the FAF (THERO), the GNS 530 switches from terminal mode to approach mode. (‘APR’ appears in the lower left corner of the screen—replacing ‘TERM’.) CDI scaling is tightened from 1.0 to 0.3 nm, full scale deflection.

6)When approaching the FAF, ‘NEXT DTK 265°’ appears along the bottom of the screen.

7)After crossing the FAF, the destination sequences to the MAP (MA25).

8)When approaching the MAP, a waypoint alert (‘APPRCHING WPT’) appears along the bottom of the screen.

9)After crossing the MAP, ‘SUSP’ appears above the OBS Key (Figure 6-52), indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is suspended at the MAP. If a missed approach is required, use the OBS Key to initiate the missed approach sequence, as outlined below.
