Figure 6-29 Approach Mode

Refer to Figure 6-29 for the following steps.

11)When approaching BODRY intersection, a waypoint alert (’NEXT DTK 209°’) appears along the bottom of the screen.

12)At 2.0 nm from the FAF (DEPOY intersection), the GNS 530 switches from terminal mode to approach mode. CDI scaling is tightened from 1.0 to 0.3 nm, full scale deflection.

13)When approaching the FAF, a waypoint alert (‘NEXT DTK 209°’) appears in the lower right corner (Figure 6-30). Make any course adjustments necessary for the final course segment (FAF to MAP).

Figure 6-30 Final Approach

14)After crossing the FAF,the destination sequences to the MAP (‘RW21’, the runway threshold). With the needle centered, fly toward the MAP, observing the altitude minimums dictated by the approach plate. When viewing the Map Page, note that the final course segment is displayed in magenta, (the active leg of the flight plan always appears in magenta) and a dashed line extends the course beyond the MAP. Do not follow this extended course. Instead, follow published missed approach procedures.

15)When approaching the MAP, a waypoint alert (‘APPRCHING WPT’) appears in the lower right corner (Figure 6-31).
