9.2APPROACHES

Not all approaches in the database are approved for GPS use. When selecting an approach, a “GPS” designation to the right of the procedure name indicates the procedure can be flown using the GPS receiver. Some procedures will not have this designation, meaning the GPS receiver can be used for supplemental navigation guidance only.

If the GPS receiver cannot be used for primary guidance, the appropriate navigation receiver must be used for the selected approach (e.g., VOR or ILS). The final course segment of ILS approaches, for example, must be flown by tuning the Nav receiver to the proper frequency and selecting that Nav receiver on the CDI.
