PROCEDURES

7)Note that the GNS 530 again displays ‘SUSP’ above the OBS Key. Automatic waypoint sequencing is suspended at the missed approach holding point. A waypoint alert (‘APPRCHING WPT’) appears along the bottom of the screen each time the aircraft approaches PMD VOR in the holding pattern.

8)When leaving the holding pattern, press the PROC Key to reactivate the approach, or select a different approach, or press the Direct-toKey to select another destination.

6)When approaching PMD VOR (the missed approach holding point), an alert message in the lower right-hand corner (Figure 6-56) of the screen recommends the holding pattern entry procedure (‘HOLD PARALLEL’). When flying the holding pattern, a timer appears on the Default NAV Page. The timer automatically resets on each outbound and inbound portion of the holding pattern.
