Figure 6-7 Sample Approach

Approach operations on the GNS 530 typically begin with the same basic steps (refer to Figure 6-7 for the following steps):

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

2)Choose the ‘Select Approach?’ option from the Procedures Page (Section 6.1) or from the Active Flight Plan Page Menu (Section 5.2, Active Flight Plan Options).

3)‘Load’ the approach (often while enroute) in anticipation of its future use. This places the approach in the active flight plan, but retains course guidance in the enroute section until the approach is ‘activated’.

4)‘Activate’ the full approach or vectors-to-final, as appropriate. In some scenarios, it may be more convenient to immediately activate the approach and skip the ‘Load’ process outlined in the preceding step 3. The GNS 530 provides both options.

Approaches with Procedure Turns

The procedure turn portion of an approach is stored as one of the legs of the approach. For this reason, the GNS 530 requires no special operations from the pilot (other than flying the procedure turn itself) beyond what is required for any other type of approach.
