Approach Basics (GX50/60)

Note

The desired track shown on an Arc Assist page is relative to the arc, not to the flight plan legs. The DME-Arc is always perpendicular to the present radial and it shows the desired track at the current radial if the aircraft was on the arc. It is the desired no-wind heading if established on the arc. If your distance from the reference waypoint is greater or less than the distance for the published arc, you will need to increase or decrease your heading to intercept the arc.

Vector to Final

SEL

ENTER

The Vector to Final function allows you to fly directly to a final approach course.

When you select the Vector to Final option, sequencing is disabled and the OBS Direct To course is set automatically using the course defined by the FAF to MAP path with the FAF set as the TO waypoint. A course intercept alert will appear when: the Track Angle Error is ￿45°, and the Cross Track Distance is ￿1 nm and on the TO side of the FAF. Sequencing is automatically enabled after intercepting the course and within 4 nm of the FAF.

1.While in the NAV or MAP functions, press SEL. You will see the flashing “Vector to Final?” prompt on the home page of the Flight Plan function. Turn the SMALL knob to show this display, if necessary. Press ENTER.
