PROCEDURES

Course from fix to altitude legs show the specific
target altitude on the Active Flight Plan Page and the
Default NAV Page. The missed approach sequence for the
Palmdale VOR/DME RWY 25 approach includes a course
from fix to altitude leg.
MISSED APPROACH
Climb to 5000’
outbound via PMD VOR
R-282, then climbing
RIGHT turn to 7000’ direct
PMD VOR and hold.
DO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATION
MISSED APPROACH:
Palmdale (CA) AF Plant 42
VOR/DME or GPS Rwy 25
Figure 6-53 Palmdale Missed Approach
In this instance, the leg corresponds to the initial phase
of the missed approach, which reads ‘Climb to 5000’
outbound via PMD VOR R-282’. Refer to Figure 6-53 for
the following steps.
1) After crossing the MAP, press the OBS Key.
The missed approach sequence is automatically
offered, starting with the course from fix
to altitude leg. The ‘NEXT DTK 282°’ alert
appears along the bottom of the screen.
2) Note that within a few seconds of pressing the
OBS Key to release suspend mode and start
the approach sequence, ‘SUSP’ re-appears
above the OBS Key as the GNS 530 returns
to suspend mode (Figure 6-54). This is normal
when flying a course from fix to altitude leg
and indicates that automatic leg sequencing
is suspended.

3) Fly the outbound course. The Map Page depicts
the flight path extending indefinitely from PMD
VOR. The distance (DIS) on the Default NAV
Page, the Map Page, and the Active Flight Plan
Page increases, indicating the distance back to
PMD VOR.
4) Upon reaching the desired altitude (5000’),
press the OBS Key to return to automatic leg
sequencing. Confirm that ‘SUSP’ no longer
appears directly above the OBS Key.
