6.7EXAMPLE PROCEDURES USING AFCS

This section provides a scenario-based set of procedures showing various autopilot modes used during a flight. Other modes and uses of the G1000 may be necessary in real-world scenarios. In this scenario, the aircraft departs Reid-Hillview Airport (KRHV) from runway 13L, enroute to Fresno Yosemite International Airport (KFAT). Climb to an altitude of 7,000 feet MSL and fly a heading of 070 degrees to intercept airway V107. Fly airway V107 to Panoche VORTAC (PXN) using VOR navigation, then fly airway V230 using a GPS flight plan. Prior to reaching Clovis VORTAC (CZQ), descend to 3,000 feet and load the ILS approach to R29R at KFAT. Fly the ILS approach and execute a missed approach.
