Point A (Inbound to OED from the east)

1.Flight plan sequencing at OED is disabled because it is an IFAF in preparation for a procedure turn. The combined IAF/FAF waypoint is noted on your Apollo GX as IFAF.

2.Verify that the Hold annunciator is ON.Point B (Outbound on the procedure turn)

1.After crossing OED, the To/From flag will indicate FROM. OED will remain the active waypoint.

2.When prompted to enter the inbound course to OED, press ENTER. Turn the LARGE and SMALL knobs to display 162°. Press ENTER to activate the OBS course.

OBS DTK: 162° to OED ifaf auto brg 093 dtk 274

Note

Some pilots are trained to fly the procedure turn by first setting the outbound course. Then, once the procedure turn is started, set the inbound course. This method eliminates reverse sensing of the CDI.

With the Apollo GX, when you are prompted to set the OBS course, set it to 342°, the outbound course. Once the procedure turn is started, press DIRECT-TOtwice and set the inbound course to 162°.

Point C (On the procedure turn)

Fly as you would with a VOR with “162° TO” selected on the OBS. Fly outbound via the 342 radial of OED to execute a procedure turn. Note that the CDI is now reverse-sensing. A distance of 2 to 3 nm outbound is recommended in order to allow adequate distance for the Apollo GX to transition to Approach Active as you pass the FAF inbound.
