4. Fly the procedure-turn or course reversal and intercept the selected inbound course.

Procedure

Turn at FAF

Note

While flying outbound, the CDI is reverse sensing.

Many pilots are trained to set and fly the outbound course in course reversal form to eliminate reverse sensing of the CDI. In this case, when you are prompted to set the OBS course, enter the outbound course rather than the inbound course as described previously. During the procedure turn, press DIR-TO twice and then set the inbound course.

Enable Sequencing

As you intercept inbound course, the GX50/60 will automatically enable sequencing and notify you with a course intercept message when:

￿The Track Angle Error is ￿45°￿Cross Track Deviation is ￿1 nm

A special condition occurs when a procedure turn is made at an IAF which is also the FAF. In this case, the Apollo GX50/60 will treat the waypoint as the IAF until sequencing is enabled when you are established inbound.

When you enable sequencing by pressing the OBS/HLD key (OBS/HLD annunciator light turns off), the IAF/FAF waypoint becomes the FAF. If you
