4)Press the ENT Key to place the frequency in the standby ﬁeld of the VLOC Window.

5)Press the VLOC Flip-ﬂopKey to activate the selected frequency.

6)Press the small right knob to remove the ﬂashing cursor.

NOTE: For duplex COM operations, the VLOC receiver may be auto-tuned from the Nearest Flight Service Station Page. See Section 8.8 for more info.

Tuning the VLOC when an approach is active

When selecting a VOR or ILS approach, manual tuning of the VLOC receiver is not required. Once the approach procedure is ‘Loaded’ or ‘Activated’, the GNS 530 automatically places the proper frequency in the standby ﬁeld of the VLOC Window. To use this frequency, press the VLOC Flip-ﬂop Key to activate the frequency. Additional information on approach procedures is provided in Section 6.1.

VLOC RECEIVER

To select an approach and automatically tune the proper VLOC frequency:

1)Select the destination airport using the Direct- to Key or as the last waypoint in the active ﬂight plan.

2)Press the PROC Key to display the Procedures Page.

3)Turn the large right knob to highlight ‘Select Approach?’ and press the ENT Key (Figure 9-6).

4)A window appears listing the available procedures. Turn the small right knob to highlight the desired procedure and press the ENT Key. (When a direct-to destination is selected, departures are offered for the nearest airport.)

5)A second window appears listing available transitions. Turn the small right knob to highlight the desired transition waypoint and press the ENT Key. (The approach ‘Vectors’ option assumes the pilot will receive vectors to the ﬁnal course segment of the approach and will provide navigation guidance to intercept this ﬁnal course.)
