4)Turn the large right knob to highlight ‘Load?’ or ‘Activate?’ and press the ENT Key. ‘Load?’ adds the approach to the flight plan without immediately using the approach for navigation guidance. This allows the pilot to continue navigating the original flight plan until cleared for the approach but keeps the approach available for quick activation when needed.

5)For precision approaches, a reminder window appears indicating that GPS guidance on such approaches is strictly for monitoring only. To confirm this reminder, highlight ‘Yes?’ and press the ENT Key.

3)A second window appears listing available transitions (Figure 5-25) for the approach. Turn the small right knob to highlight the desired transition waypoint and press the ENT Key. (The ‘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.)
