Approach Active Operation begins when you cross the Final Approach Fix (FAF) inbound if an approach has been loaded and enabled, the FAF is the active waypoint, and there are no system-detected reasons not to continue the approach (see Message Mode starting on page 1 ). The Approach Active annunciator is illuminated for Approach Active. The CDI sensitivity is 0.3 nm for approach active. Approach active is always preceded by Approach Transition.

As soon as you cross the FAF, the Approach Active annunciator will come on solid indicating that the Apollo GX is providing approach guidance. The active flight plan sequences and the Missed Approach Point (MAP) becomes the active waypoint. Sequencing is now automatically suspended and the OBS/HLD annunciator will be on.

Note

Anytime the Apollo GX is in Approach Active Operations, the approach may be canceled by pressing the OBS/HLD key.
