Refer to Figure 6-27 for the following steps.

7)As in the last example, within 30 nm of the airport, the GNS 530 switches from enroute to terminal mode, and the CDI scale transitions from 5.0 to 1.0 nm, full scale deflection.

8)Just prior to crossing BODRY intersection, a ’HOLD TEARDROP’ alert appears along the bottom of the screen to suggest the proper holding pattern entry. (‘HOLD DIRECT’ or ‘HOLD PARALLEL’ may be offered on other similar approaches.)

9)As mentioned in the missed approach example, the Default NAV Page displays a timer during the holding pattern (Figure 6-28). The timer can be used to fly the one minute outbound portion of the holding pattern. (The holding pattern is displayed on the Map Page and indicated as the active leg on the Default NAV Page and the Active Flight Plan Page.)

10)When crossing the IAF, ‘SUSP’ appears above the OBS Key, indicating that automatic sequencing of approach waypoints is temporarily suspended. As the aircraft turns inbound, ‘SUSP’ is cancelled and the GNS 530 returns to automatic sequencing.

NOTE: If the pilot needs to lose extra altitude or speed by going around the holding pattern again, press the OBS Key to manually suspend waypoint sequencing BEFORE crossing the holding waypoint the second time. If this waypoint has already been passed, re-activate the holding pattern using the steps described in Section 6.2.
