NOTE: Not all approaches in the database
are approved for GPS use. When selecting an
approach, a ‘GPS’ designation to the right of the
procedure name indicates the procedure can be
flown using the GPS receiver. Some procedures
do not have this designation, meaning the
GPS receiver may be used for supplemental
navigation guidance only. ILS approaches, for
example, must be flown by tuning the VLOC
receiver to the proper frequency and coupling
the VLOC receiver to the external CDI (or HSI).
Airport Approach Page Options
The following options are available for the Airport
Approach Page, by pressing the MENU Key:

the selected approach into the active flight plan

• Load and Activate? - Allows the pilot to load the
selected approach into the active flight plan and
activate navigation guidance to the approach
transition (Section 6.1).
• Select Next FPL Apt? - This option is only
available when a Flight Plan is active. Allows the
pilot to view the available approaches for the next

• Select Destination Apt? - This option is only
available when a Flight Plan is active. Allows
the pilot to view the available approaches for the
active flight plan destination airport.
