3.5 APPROACHES

WARNING: The GPSMAP 695/696 is not designed to be independently used for flight into instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) or other conditions in which aircraft control is based solely upon flight instruments. The approaches provided are for monitoring purposes only. Only the final course segment (final approach fix (FAF) to missed approach point (MAP)) of the published approach is available for monitoring.

An approach can be loaded at any airport that has one available, and provides guidance for non-precision and precision approaches to airports with published instrument approach procedures. Only one approach can be loaded at a time in a flight plan. If an approach is loaded when another approach is already in the active flight plan, the new approach replaces the previous approach. Only the final course segment (Final Approach Fix (FAF) to Missed Approach Point (MAP)) of the published approach is available for monitoring.

Whenever an approach is selected, the choice to either “Load Approach” or “Activate Approach” is given. “Load Approach” adds the approach to the end of the flight plan without immediately using it for navigation guidance. This allows continued navigation via the intermediate waypoints in the original flight plan, but keeps the procedure available on the Active Flight Plan Page for quick activation when needed. “Activate Approach” also adds the procedure to the end of the flight plan but immediately begins to provide guidance to the first waypoint in the approach.
