Flying an Approach with a Hold

Starting where the previous example left off, assume weather conditions resulted in a missed approach at Lynchburg Regional. The pilot has decided to divert to Farmville Regional (KFVX) instead (refer to Figure 6-24 for the following steps).

1)Press the Direct-toKey.

2)Use the small and large right knobs to enter the destination airport’s identiﬁer (KFVX).

3)Press the ENT Key twice.

This time, the pilot selects the GPS runway 21 approach into Farmville Regional. The GPS runway 21 approach begins with a holding pattern at the IAF, BODRY intersection.

4)Press the PROC Key and select the ‘GPS 21’ approach. (Section 6.1 for additional instructions.)

5)From the Transitions Window, select BODRY intersection as the IAF (Figure 6-25). Also, select ‘Activate?’ to load and activate the approach.
