PROCEDURES

Refer to Figure 6-68 for the following steps.

8)Initiate the procedure turn. The GNS 530 does not provide guidance through the turn. (The procedure turn is displayed on the Map Page and indicated as the active leg on the Default NAV Page and the Active Flight Plan Page.)

9)After approximately one minute, make a turn to intercept the ILS. The GNS 530 sequences to the inbound leg and ‘NEXT DTK 210°’ appears along the bottom of the screen. CDI coupling automatically switches from the GPS receiver to the VLOC (Figure 6-69) receiver as the pilot completes the inbound turn. (If the ILS frequency has not been activated, per step 4, this automatic CDI switching does not occur.)

10) Turn to track the ILS approach course.

NOTE: From this point on, primary navigation is provided by the VLOC receiver. The pilot may continue to use the GPS receiver for supplemental navigation guidance only. ALSO, when using an external CDI (not an HSI), expect reverse sensing when flying outbound on the approach course or when flying a backcourse approach.
