IFR Procedures

Once the direct-to or flight plan is confirmed, the whole range of instrument procedures is available. Departures (SIDs), arrivals (STARs), non-precision and precision approaches are stored within the NavData card and are available using the PROC (procedures) Key.

To display the Procedures Page (Figure 1-23), press the PROC Key.

The steps required to select and activate an approach, departure, or arrival are identical. This introductory section shows examples of the steps required to select an approach, but keep in mind the same process also applies to departures and arrivals.

Selecting an approach, departure, or arrival:

1)Turn the large right knob to select the desired option (‘Select Approach?’, ‘Select Arrival?’, or ‘Select Departure?’) from the Procedures Page.

2)Press the ENT Key to display a list of available procedures for the arrival (when using approaches or STARs) or departure (when using SIDs) airport.

3)Turn the small right knob to select the desired procedure and press the ENT Key.

INTRODUCTION

4)For approaches, a window appears (Figure 1-24) to select the desired initial approach fix (IAF) or provide a ‘vectors’ option to select just the final course segment of the approach. Turn the small right knob to select the desired option and press the ENT Key. (The ‘vectors’ option extends the final inbound course beyond the final approach fix, allowing the pilot to intercept the final course segment beyond its normal limits.)

5)For departures and arrivals, a window appears to select the desired transition. Turn the small right knob to select the desired option and press the ENT Key.

In the flight plan or direct-to, the departure or arrival airport is replaced with the sequence of waypoints contained within the selected procedure.
