Figure 6-12 Sample Approach with Procedure Turn

Refer to Figure 6-12 for the following steps:

1)Within 30 nm of the destination airport, the GNS 530 switches from ‘enroute’ mode to ‘terminal’ mode (as indicated in the lower left corner of the screen, Figure 6-13). The switch to terminal mode is accompanied by a gradual Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) scale transition from 5.0 to 1.0 nm, full scale deflection.

2)Several miles prior to reaching the IAF (LYH), the pilot may wish to review the approach sequence. Press the FPL Key to display the Active Flight Plan Page. Press the small right knob, and then turn the large right knob to review each segment of the approach (Figure 6-14). When finished, press the FPL Key again to return to the previous page.

3)When approaching the IAF (LYH), a waypoint alert (‘NEXT DTK 205°’) appears along the bottom of the screen (Figure 6-15). As the distance (DIS) to the IAF approaches zero, the alert is replaced by a turn advisory (‘TURN TO 205°’). Dial the outbound course of 205° into the CDI (or HSI) using the OBS knob.
